The Lost Boys is a comedy horror, released in 1987 July the 31st. It made £32,222,567 in USA. It’s Warner Brother’s film directed by Joel Schumacher. It’s about when two brother move into a new town and they’re convinced that there are vampires.
The main image is the group/gang of vampires and the female, Star; the boy in the left corner is Michael one of the brothers who moves there, which the story is mainly about him. A lot of the image is dominated by the group of vampires in the background behind Michael; this could show there will be trouble. The female (Star) she’s young and attractive who plays an important role in the film, as we can she’s leaning on David the head vampire which shows they have a connection with each other. Furthermore, the cover is red (very clear to the audience what the film is about, as red is to do with danger and blood). Also the characters have a vintage effect like a light pastel grey and yellow, which make the colours on their face look young and soft, showing vampires don’t age, and the colours red and a hint of yellow gives us a subconscious it’s about vampires.
The selling/tag line “Sleep all day, Party at night. Never grow old. Never die. It’s fun to be a vampire”. It’s short, simple and catchy; it’s easy for the audience to tell what the film is about. Furthermore, the selling line is fun and comes across to me a late teenager’s film. The title of the film front shows a good understanding of basic colours and very simple but striking.
