Deconstructing a Film Cover...

Before we watched Fargo we firstly, deconstructed the cover, going again the principle of not judging a book by its cover!

• The word "Fargo" is in bright red text, symbolising that this is a key word. The colour which it is in is a comical red, allowing the audience to suspect that there may be some comical scenes also in the film.
• The colour scheme is scars (red/white/black), linking it the scars environment
• Not only the crime will test the detective but also the environment will test her
• Straight away the film is different from the typical crime, firstly the police officer is the victim. The detective is also not the "normal"type due to being heavily pregnant the audience straight away know that the coen brothers are testing the film industry
• The words "a lot can happen in the middle of no where" attracts the audience, making them question what has happened? why has it happened? where is it set?. This encourages the audience to watch it to answer their questions
