Why is this post-modern?
Our poster is in many ways is post-modern. Firstly, the sepia tones create a contradictory sense of time, as it is based in modern day but looks old-aged. This is partially because photos are quite important within our film. It also creates a sense of 'Achronistisity' [?] meaning no sense of time which is a post-modern trait. Secondly, it is self-referential through the 'whats your' which makes the audience think and question their own desires. Although love is a key undertone within our story, the idea of desire contradicts the connotations. For example, lust, a sexual-predatory nature or the obsessive need of something, all ideas portrayed within our film. This in many ways is playful, although not to a humourous extent as we are playing with the audiences ideas of desire. This is also shown through the contradictory nature of defying conventions. The desire makes you think of love, but the genre is thriller (shown through the first person point of view, which makes it look like she is being watched) thus creating a sense of Irony. . The idea of the no sense of time also creates a sense of hyper-reality or 'false history'.
