Within the 'Total Recall' film poster, the question 'WHAT IS REAL?' is situated within the centre of the frame; this implies that the audiences perception of reality is to be challenged within the film as well as having a sense of hyper-reality being a key concept within the plot.
This is reinforced through the man (also positioned in the centre of the frame) who appears to be disintergrating- the extreme pixelation of his silhouette allows the audience to infer a relationship between humans and technology.
The male is pressumably the main character in the film due to his size and positioning, however, through the colour of his clothing and his body language there is still a sense of mystery in which the character is unidentified.
The slight tilt of his head takes his facial features and expression away from the focus of the camera therefore alluding to something being concealed or hidden as his appearance/identity is not exposed.
The mise-en-scene adds to such mystery as the grey tones suggest some sort of destruction or decay. As well as this, the clothing/attire appears insignificant due to both colour and style, connoting an inconspicuous and somewhat concealed character.
The typography is sharp and bold, therefore alluding to the genre of an action film.
