Final draft of film poster with my analysis

The title of the film poster suggests that the person who is looking at the male figure is deprived from them, and that there is a genuine link between the title 'DEPRIVED' and the image.
The main image is of an eye at which we can see a reflection of them looking at someone, the eye looks fixated and evil looking due to the bloodshot around the pupil of the eye. Inside the pupil of the eye there is a male figure, we cannot fully identify who is in the reflection of the eye, but we get an indication that they are being targeted due to the target cross on the figure in the eye.
The film poster does employ the iconography of a psychological thriller due to the main image being inside someones head (the eye), this instantly triggers the genre 'psychological thriller' to mind.
From this poster I have not included the film stars names in big letters on the poster as I want people to focus more on the eye and the storyline rather than the actors. I have included the film stars names in the billing block.
The poster does show one of the stars but the audience cannot make out exactly which star it is due to the shadowing effect I have used/ am going to use.
The main star which is on the poster is positioned head on with the audience, we cannot fully identify their facial expressions or style of dress due to the shadowing.
This poster does carry a movie tag-line, that is 'YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE', this suggests that somebody may be trying to escape or get away from the person who's eye it is as they may be a potential threat. It also suggests that there is no escape from the location at which this film may be made.
The credits on the poster are evident. The producers and director are not very well known. I believe that these credits help sell the film though as all information which somebody may want to find out (e.g. websites etc) then they can visit these sites for extra information.
