Sket Preconceptions Task

1. There appears to be girls who are attacking something that we can't see, as it is below the image frame. At the front is a girl with a bat who seems to be doing the most damage to whatever it is they are attacking. Whilst the girls behind just seem to be stamping on things, or possibly in the act of spitting on something. The colours of the poster are typical feminine colours such as pink and red, which reflects the characters depicted, given that they are feminine.

2. Characters - They seem to be violent, possibly abusive, and may go looking for trouble. They are most likely rarely seen apart from one another, and most likely move about in a group.

Setting - The setting will most likely take place in some inner city, as the clothes the characters are wearing are typically associated with people who live in those sorts of areas.

Story - The story is most likely a gang film, possibly focusing on a girl gang. They will most likely go about attacking other gangs, and making trouble.

3. It suggests these things by putting the girls together in a group (simulating a gang like group). The clothes they wear should strike a chord with people who see that sort of clothing on a regular basis, and should be able to deduce the most likely location for the film. The story is only easy to guess if you have seem other gang based films, if this is the case, then the plot becomes fairly easy to guess, as most gang films have similar plotlines, with a few examples.

4. I feel that the way the girls are represented in the poster contradicts the way females are usually shown in posters. They are shown to be a lot more independent, free from males and their ways (this is due to the lack of males on the poster). They are shown to be much more violent than most women are shown to be on posters, most women are usually there to look good, and draw attention to the poster. Whereas in this poster the women seem to look more scary than anything else, and would most likely push people away from the poster, as opposed to drawing them in.
