Analysing coming of age posters Moonlight

 

Images

The poster shows a close up of Chiron’s face, split into three sections, each showing him at a different age- as a child, teenager and adult. This instantly suggests a journey of growth and self discovery.

Tagline

The tagline, ‘This is a story of a lifetime’ emphasises that the film explores the entire journey of growing up. 

Colours

The poster uses shadows of blue, purple and turquoise giving it a melancholic tone. The blue also connects to the films themes of masculinity.

Text

The text within the poster doesn’t convey much about the movie being coming of age.

Overall aesthetic

The overall aesthetic is artistic and reflective conveying that this is not just a story about growing up, but about finding identity.
