In addition, the characters are mostly children or teenagers who can be a group of friends. The poster has a decent shot and color selection; it is neither too dark nor too light. Overall, it has a pleasing appearance and provides a sense of security when viewing it. It's great that the expressions match the viewer's mood, and it's the viewers' curiosity that persuades them to watch. Overall, the posters can aid in capturing the attention of potential movie viewers and attracting them to the film's intended audience or intent. By simply looking at it, it can provide a glimpse of the plot. I admire the poster designer's work, because it perfectly matches the characters' expressions and the story itself.
