- Intertextuality – following the form of a comic book.
General comic book theme, suggesting the film itself will follow that format of good vs. evil etc - Colour scheme of black and red, very sexual and adult.
- Parts of the image such as the gun and book have been edited to make it look as though it had been drawn, following the comic book theme
- The title of the film is the biggest text on the page a la comic book
- Targeting.By highlighting that it was the winner of the best picture at the Cannes film festive draws in a certain type of audience member.
- Quentin Tarantino’s name is highly visible, directly beneath the title to catch the reader’s eye.
- Long list of cast names in a bold, bright font. Biggest names at the beginning and end, starting with ‘John Travolta’ and ending with ‘and Bruce Willis.
- Very sexual image of a well known star lying on a bed. She wears a tight black dress, black heels and red lipstick she looks like a typical femme fatale. Her red nails are slapped across a book of the same title ‘Pulp Fiction.’ This suggests she is intelligent but also highlights what the target audience might be for this film. Since she reads it, other women will watch it and men will be attracted to her.
- Clear certificate rating in bottom left hand corner- Rated R (Restricted)
- Distribution Company’s logo clearly presented in the bottom right hand corner
- Image of the gun represents danger and rebellion. You can already tell the character is a bad person who shouldn’t be crossed. It also links the poster to the genre of crime or gang/gangster related film.
