The Great Gatsby film cover, emphasis on representation of class.


Our group chose to do The Great Gatsby, because we felt like it had a good amount of class representation in it. We chose to break the glass, because *spoiler alert* the whole plot ends in a lot of decay, and a lot of relationships being broken. We felt like a broken glass was a good visual representation of broken relationships. We also used the champagne glass because it represented the class of people in the film, which is mostly upper class. We used the bow tie for the same reason, and to represent the parties in the film. 

We decided to use the tagline 'the party's over' as it doesn't give too much away, but in addition to the image, it gives the reader a sense of what will happen, and helps to draw them in, and makes them want to watch the film.

The colour selection of the title 'The Great Gatsby' is a sign of wealth, and classiness. It helps to signify the genre and content of the film, without actually saying it. This is an effective way to let the viewers know what the film will be generally based around, without giving too much away to them.
