I choose film VERTIGO by Alfred Hitchcock because I like that film and I thought vertigo could be used with its combinations of skewed perspective very well.

I choose these two posters for analysis. I like them because both have a feeling of high and a little bit feeling of vertigo at once.


The Dynamic Soviet Film Posters of the 1920s and '30s1929.


Both posters use simple colours, skewed perspective, lines to lead the eye, sanserif font, the figures on the right poster look like they were cut - collage.
