This is a poster advertising the lastest Tim Burton film 'Alice in Wonderland'.

• The use of the characters featured in the poster prepare the audience for what is forthcoming in the film as it is based around a surrealist theme.
  The character of the Cheshire Cat takes place at the top of the page. Only his face is shown and is larger than a lot of the other character shown, which makes him a focal point on the poster and shows he is going to be a main character in the film.
  The Red Queen is a small but dominant character in the film. We can see this by her stance on the poster, with her finger pointing and her eyebrows raised. Again she is a main character as being dressed in red shows her dominance and importance in the film, but also the connotations of red being evil and cruel.
  The White Queen is shown to be a good character as being dressed in white shows she is pure and is in direct contrast with the Red Queen. She is seen wearing a white ballgown to show her as glamourous and elegant whilst helping Alice throughout the film. She is placed in the centre of the poster to again show her as an important character as her stance is a lot softer and calmer compared to the Red Queen.
  The two short dumpy looking characters; Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee are shown to look "dumb" dressed in matching outfits and an odd shaped head.
• The title of the film 'Alice in Wonderland' is placed at the bottom of the poster on a black background so it stands out and is visable to see. The white stands out from any other part of the poster, therefore drawing the attention of the audience towards it. The font it has been printed in follows the surrealist theme as it is not a formal or usually seen font.
