Plot: A BlancBiehn production centered around the idea of a governmentally designed drug created to help correct or strategically alter perceptions gathered during times of trauma or stress. Slated as being a substance that may help solve issues with everything from racial tensions, PTSD, and geopolitic battles, first a focused study is needed to see how people respond to treatment and what dosages might be needed. Four couples are chosen to test this drug, and soon find their memories and sanity challenged.
The image on the left is one of the posters BlancBiehn productions produced for this film. Without having seen the movie and only gaining knowledge about it from the plot, this is definitely a thriller based poster. I think this because the needle and the hand on the face represents how it was forced onto them. Although these four couple 'agreed' to take part in testing this new drug the eye suggests that everything they see now will change. This links in with the name 'Altered Perception' because the person's opinion on a situation may have changed, therefore their reaction will be different. Knowing its a thriller makes the audience want to know what these characters find out and how they react to it.
In relation to the title, the font for each word is different and there are red cross symbols in between the word 'Altered.' Drugs link in with hospitals and the universal symbol for a hospital is the red cross. The fonts are kept either white or red. These two colours contradict with each other because the white symbolises innocence and purity but the red colour symbolises danger and also passion. These qualities may be involved in the film.
Moreover, the sentence placed under the eye says 'The truth can be prescribed;' this could suggest that this drug shows everything meaning that no one could hide from it. But in life, some things are worth hiding because it might cause more harm to those who hear or see it. If I had watched this movie I would know what the overall outcome is but in my opinion I think that it'll definitely go wrong because its a trial drug test and its a thriller movie. Overall, this poster is a conventional thriller poster because of the shadows and close up of the eye.
