Poster analysis

1. Poster analysis by George Rose

2. Colour: The colours are dark and bright to show two types of side. It shows fire to show power and hope. Convections: From this poster there is the tag line which is at the top of the poster, the main picture which is in the middle showing the main character. Under that it shows the title of the film which is ‘Hunger games catching fire’ it shows the production blub at the bottom followed by the release date. Tagline: The Tag line is a little way to describe the film and to draw in the audience. For the Hunger games it is ‘Remember who the enemy is’ this is a way that makes you think about what is going to happen in this film. Image: The image in this poster is a massive picture of the main character Katniss Everdeen who is played by Jennifer Lawrence. This is a way to draw in the audience as from this image you can tell it’s a film about a war/fight as she has a bow and arrow. Fonts: The fonts and lay out will have to connect to the film in a way to show what the films genre represents. Different fonts are used for different genres. The font in this poster is big and bold and the colour is golden, this links into the golden pin that Katniss has

3. Conventions: This poster it shows the actors name ‘Will Smith’ this is a good way to draw in audience as most people know Will Smiths films are always a success. There is the tag line which is at the top of the poster, the main picture which is in the middle showing the main character. Under that it shows the title of the film which is ‘I am legend’ it shows the production blub at the bottom followed by the release date. Colour: There isn't much colour in this poster to show something is wrong with the world and that something catastrophic has happened Tagline: In this poster the tag line is ‘the last man on the earth is not alone’ this draws in the audience by this little line as it makes the audience think what has happened, why is he alone, what else is out there. This tagline just gives a little hint to the audience. Image: As you can see from this image they show the main character (Robert Neville) and his dog (Sam) it shows him armed and in a destroyed city which was New York. This is a good way to draw in the audience as they would want to know what has happened. Fonts: The fonts in this are fairly similar to the colour in the poster, there isn't much colour in the font and it gets smaller to bigger to show more of an impact

4. Conventions: In this poster it includes the 2 main actors Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman. Is then shows the title of the film ‘The book of Eli’. It then shows the Tagline of the film. Below that the production blub and lastly the release date. Behind all of that is shows a massive image of the main character. Colour: Most Dystopian posters don’t have a lot of colour in to show the devastation. This s a prime example as the colours and very dark to show the break in the equilibrium Tagline: In this poste the tagline is ‘Some will kill to have it, he will kill to defend it’ This draws in the audience because they don’t know what he is trying to defence, all they might guess is it’s a about a book. This shows whatever he has is of great value. Image: The image of this is a massive picture of the main character (Eli) sitting down outside of a destroyed city with a gun. This shows that something has happened to the world there are people out there who are dangerous. Fonts: For this fonts they have made it colourless and grey to show a dystopian look on the film. Old, grainy and dull. This shows what type of film it will be.
