The Poster· Main Character: Back turned away to the camera, which suggest that this female character maybe be mysterious and has more to her then shes letting on. Also the hooded jumper helps strengthen this point.
· Large scale bear trap with main character with in it can be perceived as a visual metaphor that the main character is heavily involved with trapping someone, also with a combination of a title hard candy can also show that she will be the bait as candy is often known to be sweet.
· Colour: Red - which is mainly used for the character the colour used for the characters almost resembles a new age little red riding hood. The secondary colours are very bleak and bland, almost lifeless with different mixes of greys. (little red riding hood)
