The poster for 'The Boat That Rocked' presents most of the main characters who feature in this film, with recognizable actors, such as Bill Nighy and Nick Frost, and new comers like Tom Sturridge who plays the newcomer of Radio Rock young Gavin. All the DJ's are wearing what would have then been considered fashionable, especially with the wearing of sunglasses. These sunglasses, being worn by Nighy, Hoffman and Rhys Ifans, are character information that these particular DJ's play an important role in the film. Kenneth Brannagh is represented as being the villian of the film in the poster by his picture being the very last one we see. His backround is a dull, plain gray color, very much like how he is represented in the film, unlike the vibrant colors of the DJ's, who are vibrant people. Brannagh's glasses, being clear, also show that he is very conservative becuase Nighy's, Hoffman's and Ifans' sunglasses are all red and fashionable.
Tom Sturridge's character of Gavin is right in the middle of the poster, representing him as the person who is surrounded by these intereseting, intricate people. Also, all character surrounding Sturridge, except for Talulah Riley who plays Quentin's Niece Marianne, are fully grown adults, a representation of Gavin having to grow into a man through his expereince with the DJ's. Riley is instantly represented as being a love interest in Sturridge's life by her being directly below him and being of the same age.
