Sintel


      This is a movie poster from the short animated film Sintel. The poster uses the separation and longing to be together of the girl and baby dragon to pose questions. Why are the separated? Why do they want to be together? Will they be together in the end? What's keeping them apart? The last question can easily be answer from the advertisement. A huge wicked dragon is between the two characters, looming over them and keeping them apart. The fear in the girl and little dragon's eyes suggest this film is about the struggle of reconnecting. This ad is successful by posing questions to get you interested.
      The title is centered and doesn't grab your attention. It instead implies that the film is more subtle and not in your face. The title is also short, suggesting that dialogue is not the main focus. The credits and website are typical of a movie poster, informing you exactly what this is advertising. There are no reviews or slogans present on the poster. They would only direct attention away from the struggle and depth the two desperate characters are facing.
      This movie poster encourages you to watch the film by displaying an image that tells the main plot of its story and gets you interested and concerned about its outcome.
