Macbeth+Project+-+Elizabeth+F+-+Publicity+Poster

The image on the movie poster is supposed to represent Macbeth killing Banquo. However, there is an under lying message which shows that Macbeth is "stabbing his friends in the back" because just when he gains their friendship he kills them. I think this is a very important part in the book because most people don’t kill many of their close friends. The background of the drawn image is red; to represent the blood that surrounds Macbeth´s life. Also, I had the friends back faced towards the audience to show that Macbeth kills his friends when they are least expecting. The tagline that I used for the publicity poster was, "Just when you think you're friends, you better watch your back." I thought this was a good tagline for the message I am trying to convey because as soon as Macbeth builds relationships with people he quickly learns that they are standing in his way and goes behind their backs and kills them. One example would be when Macbeth tries to befriend Duncan, but soon afterwards he realizes that although Duncan has great qualities, he stands in the way of him receiving the throne. So he disregards their friendship and kills him, for gain in personal achievement. Overall, I thought it was very important to portray a creepy theme in this movie poster, so I tried to use dark colors to show the betrayals and murders throughout the play.
