Poster analysis world war z
- 1. POSTER ANALYSIS By Alastair Simpson
- 2. POSTER CONVENTIONS • Film Title • Actor • Main Image • Release Date • Cast and Crew • Expert Witnesses • Age Classification • Tagline or Slogan
- 3. WORLD WAR Z POSTER: FILM TITLE • The Film Title that is in the lower portion of the poster shows the name of the movie in the text style. It also contains the logo of the movie which is the Z for Zombie which is the main part of the movie. Although the title is large, it doesn’t take up a large portion as the image is the main visual part of the poster. The ‘Z’ in red connotes the fact that red is the colour of blood and is known to be what Zombies are covered in as that is one of the things we, as an audience stereotype zombies to like.

- 5. • The actors name is at the top, because as an audience we look at posters in a ‘Z’ shape where we start in the top left corner and finish in the bottom right corner. We only see the main actors names at the top of the poster, or the actors who are worth mentioning. In this case we see Brad Pitt’s name as he is a very well known actor. This will attract attention of people who know Brad Pitt, and are fans of him. WORLD WAR Z POSTER: ACTOR

- 7. • The main images usually shows the main actor within the environment of the film. In this case we can see Brad Pitt overlooking the ruins of a city. We can see burning buildings in the background with Brad Pitt facing the danger of this hostile looking land. Brad Pitt is in a hero pose overlooking the city, he has his hair flowing in the wind as the picture suggests he is on top of a building. He is armed and muscular which makes him very muscular as well as seeming heroic. The rim lighting around Brad Pitt suggests he is a heavenly, or saintly figure as he is the one who single handedly saves the world. WORLD WAR Z POSTER: MAIN IMAGE

Editor's Notes
- The Film Title that is in the lower portion of the poster shows the name of the movie in the text style. It also contains the logo of the movie which is the Z for Zombie which is the main part of the movie. Although the title is large, it doesn’t take up a large portion as the image is the main visual part of the poster. The ‘Z’ in red connotes the fact that red is the colour of blood and is known to be what Zombies are covered in as that is one of the things we, as an audience stereotype zombies to like. The letter Z is also in a font which is crumbled and worn out which connotes and connects with the landscape in the image.
