layer cake poster deconstruction



  • Daniel Craig (the main actor) is places in the centre, with the bottom half of his body showing, this shows his importance as the other characters only have their top half showing.
  • The title is in bold black, and the A is replaced with a 4. The director is shown just below the title
  • At the very top of the poster, the names of the actors are shown, in order of importance from the left.
  • "From the producers of" - attracts an audience who have watched the other films.
  • The colour scheme is black and yellow, which subverts to the common conventions for crime drama, this gives it a new look, and audiences may think that it is something new and different to what they have already seen.
  • All of the characters stare directly into the camera, this could be used to show the intensity of the film.
