Cover analysis

This cover insinuates many different stories, and in some perspective, reflects what we are trying to achieve with Split. As obvious, the cover expresses a female who is enjoying life, with friends (which is seen through the actuality she is holding her friend around the neck, happily). And the fact she is with a ball expresses she is actually probably chasing a football career, which is backed by the actual title. Furthermore, the background shows a group of Asian women, probably insinuating the actuality that they are making life hard. In addition to this, the fact the asian women are in the background, show that the main character is actually a  tghe asian female. We can also assume from the title, that since the asian women look traditional, that it involves her actually having to make a decision in what path she wants to choose. We can also assume from the fact that it is traditional-looking asian ladies in the background, that it could involve a love issue, possibly an arrange marriage which could settle her future, and could destroy her football dreams.

The title itself backs my analysis of the cover, and the colours reflect that of a football pitch, which insinuates the actuality that it is football related. Furthermore, the slogan ''Who wants to cook Aloo Gobi, when they can bend a ball like Beckham'', expresses the fact that it could be a split decision type film, which reflects the type of film we're going for. The fact the film is baseds on a decision, expresses that she will have to make a choice, which will reverberate through the Film. The Cover itself gives a distinct insight to what the actual film may be about.

 The Cover shows clearly that this film is gang related, which is reflected through the clothing that the characters are wearing. Furthermore, the Cover portrays that there will be violence in the film, as we can evidently see a machete on the floor expressing that there could be gory scenes. The actuality that the members on the front cover are a compound of males and females insinuates that there could probably be romance and sex scenes in the film, hence the name adulhood.

The background is a yellow colour, which could either be a symbol of a dawn, expressing that its a new day, meaning that its a new begining, or dusk, which could convey the ending. Another intrepretation is that the colour yellow portrays a sense of War, showing that this film could involve fighting, which links back to the weapon that is visible. 

If people have viewed the other film, they will know that it ended abruptly, so this film could be the enbding that they hunger, which measns that the yellow sky could be symbolising dusk, which reflects an ending.

By large, from this analysis, I have been able to convey that a Cover can express a lot from a Film, and give some sort of an insight to what the film is actually about. This means that when making a cover, members have to be careful in how they lay it out. The graphology of the Cover is very important, as it is sort of the face of the film.
