2. TheatricalPoster#1
Godzilla:KingOfTheMonsters.
The first thing we notice on
the poster is that the title is
the same colour as the glow
around Godzilla, which is a
light blue colour.
Something else to mention
is that the colour scheme
for this poster is that same
blue colour. The only
difference is that the central
character is a very dark
blue, almost a black.
The tagline references the title
“Long Live The King” this is placed
on a poster for Godzilla, who has
been regarded as a form of king to
the Kaiju (or monsters) we can also
see the release date, which is a
completely different colour to the
rest of the poster, so it almost
stands out.
The cast for the movie is
actors/actresses from
Godzilla (2014) with some
new additions such as Millie
Bobby Brown.
The billing block is one of
the harder things to see in
this poster, which could be
considered a good thing,
and is almost blending in
with the background of the
ocean. This could be
considered good as it
doesn’t take too much
attention away from the
centre of the poster.
We can get a idea of the
narrative by the inclusion of
the military vehicles such as
boats and VTOLS. However,
they don’t seem to be
attacking Godzilla which could
imply the power he receives in
this film.
A way we can tell what genre the film is via the inclusion of Godzilla, which is regarded
as a monster, this makes the audience quick to guess that the film will be a monster
movie.
3. CharacterPoster1#:
StarWars:TheForceAwakens.
The three primary
colours we see on this
poster consist of silver,
black and red. These
colours are appropriate
for this character as it
does imply that this
character is a villain.
The red also is much
more vibrant and
dominant then the
black silver so it is more
likely to attract
audiences and sell more
tickets.
The text we see on this
poster isn’t in the way
of the main image
behind it which helps
sell the movie. It is also
positioned in a place
that doesn’t seem
unnatural.
the font is done in a
traditional Star Wars style
with the black and yellow
colour scheme, which
proves that this is a official
product of Disney.
A way this poster conveys
narrative is that the
presentation of this character
implies he is the villain and
will be fighting our heroes in
this film, this is also because
on all of the character posters,
he is the only one with a
mask.
This poster suggests genre as the use of masks links with
themes of adventure and action. This is also suggested via the
red blade which links to themes of violence.
4. TeaserPoster1#:
TheDarkKnight.
The colour for this poster
going with the traditional
rule of three. The main
colours we see are black,
red and grey. The colours
are done in this style to
foreshadow a infamous
Batman villain, the Joker.
On this poster, we only see two
lines of text, the title and
supposed tagline, which would
later be revealed to be a line said
by the Joker. This helps create a
form of mystery as to what might
happen. Another thing to take
note of is the placement of the
text, it is placed above the main
image and below so it doesn’t
obstruct what is being shown.
A way that this teaser
suggests the narrative and
genre is through the
inclusion of a bat symbol
smeared in blood, this
could imply that the film
is dark and gritty for a
action film, which isn’t
typically seen a superhero
movie, however, some
exceptions to this are
Watchmen, Batman V
Superman and Titans.
The narrative for this film
could be one that has
great risks and the main
character we follow could
suffer great injury or loss
throughout.
The font style for this film is bold and stands out
from the rest of the poster, this helps attract the
audience as they can get some idea of who the
film will be about.
