Kai Shen Poster 3 Extremities The content of the play //Extremities// is extremely dramatic and poses several moral questions. The play deals with rape, murder, torture, as well as social conflicts. All of these concepts invoke a tense, apprehensive feeling, a feeling that questions the soul. These emotions are portrayed in the poster using the image of the face. The face, along with the red color shaded throughout, gives a foreboding sensation and creates tension. The picture is raw and appropriate to the subject matter. When a passerby looks at the poster for clues, they know that it is a serious work and may have some elements of terror. Everything on the poster stands out and jumps at the viewer, which attracts attention. These features include the use of the color red, the sharpness of the image, and the closeness of the face. The information given in the lower sections of the poster also provide important details about the play, such as the showtimes, location, prices, rating, as well as contact information for further inquiries. Besides posters, details and information about the play can be spread through use of radio broadcasts, television commercials, and by word of mouth. Posters only show the visual aspects of the piece through pictures. However, radio can incorporate an audio aspect into the advertising. The use of voice can portray emotions verbally, which sometimes can be more effective. Television ads combine the best of both worlds. Live video combines both the verbal and visual aspect to create the best advertising possible. The only downside is that television can be very expensive.
