"The Happening" Cover Analysis
Filed under by Emma Phillips on 02:30
Within the front cover of this particular movie, the cars act like a focal point in the still, which then attracts your eye to follow the road to the distance focal point which leads towards the shadow of a building against a glowing sky, which I have inferred is a city. From first view, it is easy to see that something unnatural has happened, as cars are just left abandoned at the edge of the road. The viewer’s attention is also put towards the sky, with mass poetic fallacy of dark and gloomy clouds of grey and blacks, which contrasts the distant city with is glowing in the background. The words on the cover, “we've sensed it, now it’s happening” can be inferred that something, that people may have ignored for some time, has now finally happened- and that human race will suffer greatly due to it.
