Been writing description for my BS posters and would like some feedback. I am adding written description for every poster to my web database. Need help on the fourth "egg" LaBoca may have it all wrong. Remember these are rough... Thanks in advance.
Poster depicts White Swan in crown (Natalie Portman). Venice and Toronto Film Festival Award logos surround Natalie.
All credits are below the image with "This Fall" at the very bottom. Interesting take on this poster is that in this advance version,
Natalie is depicted as the White Swan Queen. The later released "Reviews" version depictes Natalie as the Black Swan Queen similar
to the story line. The White Swan transforming into the Black Swan.
Poster depicts the Black Swan queen (Natalie Portman) stretched out with arched back on black background at
the very bottom of the poster with all text above. "Wicked Sexual Thriller" is written on top and there are four stars
(symbol) in quotation marks above multiple media outlet names. The title Black Swan is written in red with Now
Playing directly under it. Interesting take on this poster is that in this "Reviews" version, Natalie is depicted as the
Black Swan Queen. The advance release version depictes Natalie as the White Swan Queen similar to the story line;
the White Swan Queen transforming into the Black Swan Queen.
Poster depicts the Swan Queen (appears to be the White Swan Queen; but could be nuetral) having a broken or
cracked face. Inference could lead the viewer to take away that the lead character (played by Natalie Portman)
could be damaged or be split (vs. cracked). After viewing the film you can easily assign the "crack" to a split in
personalities which developed in the transformation from White Swan to Black Swan. Poster has a tagline of "An
Extraordinary Intoxicating Masterpiece Placed to the right of Natalie. The Movie title is written in black block
lettering and credits are directly underneath the title.
Poster depicts a dancer through cubic/cubism illustration under a star filled sky and moon. The title is in all caps
with partially filled lettering; "BLACK" on top of "SWAN". Every LaBoca poster lists Natalie Portman, Vincent Cassel,
and Mila Kunis near the title. Tagline following title includes "From the Director of the Wrestler & Requiem for a
Dream". Fox Search light copyright is written vertically on the right.
Poster depicts dancer through a silhouette against a black sway displaying its wings again under a star filled night.
The swan's beak jumps out being in high contrast from red to black. The title is in all caps with red block lettering;
"BLACK" on top of "SWAN". Every LaBoca poster lists Natalie Portman, Vincent Cassel, and Mila Kunis near the title.
Tagline following title includes "From the Director of the Wrestler & Requiem for a Dream". Fox Search light copyright
is written vertically on the right.
Poster depicts a floating swan displaying a full side view of the swan. Following the swan from right to left one
begins to realize that the hind feathers are made from the stacking of a dancer in contrasting red and black.
The dancer is shown to be within the swan has her head and body arched backwards like that of a bird in display
or in the final presentation of the "Black Swan" in the film. Notice the lone read feather in the dancer's hair and
highlighting of the facial features with off-white. The title is shown in the upper left in all caps with black block
lettering; "BLACK" on top of "SWAN". Every LaBoca poster lists Natalie Portman, Vincent Cassel, and Mila Kunis
near the title and here is is shown to be stacked underneath the title. Could be related to the stacking imagery
or for space reasons. Tagline following title includes "From the Director of the Wrestler & Requiem for a Dream".
Fox Search light copyright is written vertically on the right.
Poster depicts a Black Swan and White (female silhouette) in an egg shape. Could foreshadow the pending birth
of the Black Swan from the White Swan through the female silhouette (Natalie Portman) and that both are inherent
and that they are one. Notice the eyes (in beautiful red-black contrast) perfectly line up with the female silhouette.
Lastly the floating white feathers indicating a possible shedding of the characteristics of the White Swan as the
transformation occurs. The title is shown in the below the image in all caps with red art deco lettering; "BLACK"
smaller and on top of "SWAN". Every LaBoca poster lists Natalie Portman, Vincent Cassel, and Mila Kunis near the
title and here is is shown to be at the very top of the poster. Tagline following title on two line includes "From the
Director of the Wrestler & Requiem for a Dream". Fox Search light copyright is written vertically on the right.
