Poster Analysis

Poster Analysis

Blade Runner:

In this poster we automatically suggest that this film is going to be in the sci-fi genre, we can tell due to the chosen images in the poster. There seems to be some sort of galactic skyline and lots of stars. There are also lots of sun rays which suggests that this film is set in outer space which also relates to sci-fi. We can also tell that the sub genre for this film is action as Harrison Ford is holding a gun in a very anticipating pose, he seems ready to fight. The female character has a 40s / 50s film noire style to her.  This emphasises her feminine figure. The fact that she is smoking may also suggest that she has more of a dangerous side to her personality which is further shown due to the very harsh shadows behind her. We may also be able to tell that harrison ford is a heroic figure doe to the gold flares around him although the fact that the flares are pointing away from him may suggest that he has more of a villainous side to his character. The font also tells us that it is going to be a sci fi film as this was a typical sic fi font in that generation.


Scary Movie 2:

In this poster we can tell it is going to be a Horror Comedy, this is because the bold large font of the movie title is called "Scary Movie" when the copy at the top right clearly indicates it will be a comedy. We can also tell it will be a parody as the characters and actors used in the poster are represented as other characters of horror films released at the time. this poster also highlights a common stereotype of black actors dying first as the lead black actor in the poster is posing like he is about to be murdered while everyone looks shocked. Also, the colours in this poster is very vibrant which creates a positive mood to the audience.

UZAK:

From this poster, we may suggest that the genre is going to be a Drama with the sub genre of mystery, this is because the colours are very dull and negative, also the lead character isn't facing the audience and is blacked out which creates the sense of mystery. The setting also seems very disturbed and negative which leaves the audience asking questions about what may have happened and who this character is. In the bottom left side of the poster instead of writing the release date the designer has written 'Starts 28 May' which tells us that something is about to happen but we don't know what it is, we must watch the film in order to find out.

Im Not Scared:

Just by looking at this poster we can indicate that this film is going to be about a young boy who is all alone on a scary journey/adventure. Also there is also some irony as the title of the film is called "I'm Not Scared" although the boy in the poster seems to be rather scared and frightened. We can tell that the genre is horror as there is a lot of tension in this shot as we don't know what the boy is scared of or what is inside the whole he is frighteningly staring at. The target audience aims to be at teenagers that are in for a thrilling journey.

Pirates of The Caribbean - Dead Mans Chest:


Just from the title of the movie we can tell that the storyline is based upon pirates that are after a chest. We can tell that this movie is going to be an action/adventure as the lead character is holding a gun and there are boats at sea with a ghoul theme to it, this also shows that this film may be quite frightening, We can also tell that the man holding the gun is the lead character as he is larger in size compared to the other actors. The colour scheme is also very old aged and medieval. The target audience seems to be kids - young adults.

Bride And Prejudice:

We can tell that this movie is going to be about a wedding due to the title but also because it is a twist from the original "Pride & Prejudice." From the pose of the lead character we can see that these two people are going to get married but are going to face a lot of funny problems and delays to their final wedding. We can also tell they are going to get married as there is a lot of confetti flying around them. We can also tell that there are going to be problems as the male is of a Caucasian ethnicity where as the bride is Asian. It is going to be a problem as the background shows the setting of india with a lot of indian people, it is very un common and strange for an indian girl to marry a Caucasian so there will be a lot of problems. This film is aimed at young adults and adults as it is based around marriage and romance.

Million Dollar Baby:

This poster shows that the film is going to be based around sports and boxing. We can tell that the female in the image will be the lead boxer as she is in boxing clothes and we can also tell that she is training for something big due to the title. She is facing away from the camera but is watching her back which shows a sense of authority and awareness. This relates well to boxing. The hair and clothes in miss-en-sense is a alternative stereotype as she is taking the manly role in the film. The other characters are facing the camera and are older which may show a stereotype that the older are wiser and more serious. Her facial expressions are serious which may suggest this is a drama, the black and white effect and low key lighting connote mystery and a sense of drama. the characters also appear from darkness which also creates mystery. This poster is very simple and serious which tells us the target audience are young adults and adults, also the simple and small font connects to more of a sophisticated, mature audience.
