This postcard was produced to represent this short film called "The Offering". It denotes a man staring into the distance with a car behind him in the woods. However, it connotes to a man in an ambiguous surrounding, staring at something in both fear and shock. This provokes the intended audience to question what he is looking at, what he is doing there and what is about to happen to him.
In terms of mise en scene, the man is dressed in a large, dark blue coat suggesting that he is in a cold place. The setting is the woods and it is dark creating a spooky and eerie atmosphere. The prop used is the object on the tree stump as well as the car with its headlights on. This postcard uses non-verbal contact as the man is indirectly addressing the camera. The lighting is low-key and the main source of light appears to only be coming from the headlights of the car.
The picture of the scene is a mid-shot showing just enough, but not giving too much away at the same time. The picture also looks realistic and not artificial as well as it being taken at a hard focus.
All of the writing is in white, so that it contrasts against the background and can be easily ready by possible viewers of this short film. The most significant words on the postcards are in bold to stand out against the rest of the text. Also, the font is clear and easy to read. The designer of the film postcard has made sure to include all of the essential information about the movie such as: the title (The Offering), the company who directed the film (Bitter River Film & Media), what awards it has been nominated for or won, where the viewer can vote for them and the basic plot of the short film.
