Documentary/Film Postcard Analysis


This postcard was produced to represent this short film called "Barking Water". It denotes a two people travelling in a car in a journey. However, it connotes to two people trying to reach somewhere and are racing against time.

In terms of mise en scene, the characters are edited to look cartoon-like. The woman appears to be leaning back on the man for support however, the man is looking away. This suggests that the man and the woman used to have some kind of connection that may not be there anymore. The colour scheme is brown, green and yellow which are all colours associated with nature. The postcard uses non-verbal contact as neither character is directly addressing the camera.

Looking at the aspect of typography, all of the text is in white to stand out against the background. Although, the title is in a brown, bold font to contrast against the rest of the text. Also, all the awards and official selections for this short film has been listed on the postcard.

The intended genre of this short film is drama and the intended audience are people who are interested in stories that evoke emotion from them.

Overall, I think that this postcard communicates effectively with the intended audience.
