2. When looking at Dark Night Rises, its more Action then Thriller but there are a lot of
footages that is shown in the film that would make you think otherwise. The Dark
Night Rises is a sequel from the latest version of batman which was called The Dark
Nigh. The sequel is about… Despite his tarnished reputation after the events of The
Dark Knight, in which he took the rap for Dent's crimes, Batman feels compelled to
intervene to assist the city and its police force which is struggling to cope with Bane's
plans to destroy the city.
In the poster there’s only one Character which is Batman, they have put him in the
middle of the poster which symbolises importance as he is one of the main characters
but the most important. He is captured in a low angle shot that indicates that he’s
quite powerful by himself and tends to be considered as the powerful lone wolf;
taking in all the shadows that are in his face and everywhere else you can tell that his
quite a secretive man that likes that dark given that even though most of the image is
in darkness his suit is still defined and you can see most of the small details that are
on it. This is also another way for the producers to tell the audience that he’s a
powerful man as the suit is designed to structure his muscles and define/ add any
small details that is on his body making him look like a strong being. When looking at
the background is filled with buildings that looks like are falling from a big explosion
that happens just on top of Batman head, the explosion happens in the form of the
Batman sign with this it looks like the explosion is spreading and destroying the
building. This gives off the impression that in this sequel Batman is going to explode
with something other than darkness; a source of light with make him more powerful
than what he is and it might just destroy the things around him whether its good or
bad.
When looking at the font, it’s pretty basic in terms of the whole poster but it still
catches your eyes although it’s not that big or as exaggerated as anything else on the
poster. All the lettering is in white Arial, bold in capital letters. This emphasises the
title of the film and the slogan; and makes it stand out from the dark background.
