Macbeth+Project+-+Trevor+S+-+Movie+poster

Movie poster explanation In my movie poster, I tried to incorporate multiple aspects of the book including good, bad, blood, and the witches. I chose to make the background the Scottish flag. While I know that Scotland did not have a flag from the time period of the play, I chose to include the modern Scottish flag with a bloody hand print to represent the bloody history of Scotland. I feel that this image of the bloody hand print also relates to specific moments in the play like when Lady Macbeth hallucinated, the murder of Duncan, and the murder of Banquo. The quotes that I chose were specifically chosen because they are two of the most famous lines from the play. Since this is a movie poster, I wanted to choose quotes that many people would know and that represent the play appropriately. First of all, “False face must hide what false heart doth know” is a critical idea in the play because of the lying that Macbeth and Lady Macbeth carry on, and because of the whole cover up for the killing of Duncan. “Fair is foul and foul is fair” may be the most well-known line from Macbeth. Having this quote in a movie poster will give people an idea of what they are going to see. The blurb at the bottom just made the poster look more professional.
