The first thing you notice about this short film poster is the main image of the man in it this lets us know he is the protagonist and an importan character in the film. At the bottom of the poster you have the compulsory information this would be the people that made it and had something to do with the creation of the film. above this you have the title of the film in a certain font to make the films title more recognisable.

You can tell by the way the images are positioned on the poster it would most likely be some type of thriller because of the model/actors body language and facial expression. we would also know this by the colur scheme of the poster and how it is on in black and white and the shadows as well as the duplicity of the image that can tell us a lot about the character, these are all conventions of a dark thriller film.

As you can see the tile of the film is in a font that looks quite formal relating to poker as being a formal game and a serious one. It is shown as a competition related to poker as you can see by all the characters in the image and the body language they are showing what looks like to eachother. I think this would be a thriller i know this by the coulour scheme and again the body language of the men in the poster and can see it is a very mental film this is a convention of thrillers and how it makes you think.

the distance of all men in the poster are medium close ups where as a close up of the drinks and poker chips on the table to show their facial expresions and body language and what they are wearing especialy with what they are wearing we can work out the status of the men and the situation happening.
