Mise-en-scene

• The background colours of the poster connote the gritty topic which Stacey focuses on in her documentary.

• According to makeup, Stacey is stripped back of most makeup, used to connote the reality of the shocking issue of racism. This also connotes equality as Stacey strives to express the ideology of justice within a community. Yet again the audience can receive personal identity from this product.

Text

• The text although basic has a more artistic appeal. This suggests an unpredictable target audience for the light documentary genre, suggesting that this product is aimed at females aged between 18-30, similar to our cohesive campaign.
