Homeland Poster


The Homeland poster gives the audience an insight to the genre, narrative and characters of the Americam show.

The postioning of the characters suggest they are of equal levels because they are both eye level, the man is more forward suggesting that he has male dominance. The man is dressed in a USA naval outfit which helps to establish the genre of thriller.

The text 'The nation sees a hero. She sees a threat' also reinforces the thriller genre as well as establishes a working relationship between the two characters; suggesting they have a complication relationship where she doesn't trust him giving a clue to the narrative that she's going to find the truth about him.

The text also links to the image as you can only see half of his face, once side being the hero in millitary uniform and the other half being a blur that the blonde character sees as a threat. The blurred half of his face suggests his identity is missing which is a narrative link.

Homeland security is organised by the government in America which their highest priority is to protect America from terrorist attacks. Therefore the choice of title Homeland gives a huge clue that the main plot is going to be about terrorism .
