The poster analyzes uses close-up shots of two main characters facing off to suggest tension and intrigue viewers about their relationship. It prominently displays the title in big white font and centers one character at the front to indicate their importance to the story. Contextual clues from the characters' facial expressions, inclusion of their names, taglines about legends and heroes, and focus on one character in a fighting stance provide insights into potential plot points about a feud, boxing, and an underdog overcoming challenges. Limited colors, a dark background, and out-of-focus secondary characters maintain mystery around specifics of the story and characters.
1. The setting in the
background shows a
crowd which suggests
there is a lot of tension
between these 2 main
characters we see. This
could also increase the
unknown factor for the
movie and what it has
to offer.
The Title of the movie
shown in the poster is
in big white font to
show and make it
stand out to the
viewers. It also shows a
level of importance as
“Creed” the main
character in the movie
is shown towards the
front of the poster
We can identify that a close up shot
is being used here. as we see both
the main characters standing in front
of one another. This clearly shows us
they are important and could
suggest there is a feud between
these people by their facial
expressions. This then intrigues the
audience as they want to know
WHY!
Font colour does not change
to make it stand out more.
We see both actors names in
the poster to give the
audience some awareness of
who these characters may be
and the roles they might play.
2. In the background we vaguely
see 2 different characters. This
effect could have been done
to give us an understanding
that these 2 characters may
play a important part for the
main characters story. Also
from the setting we don’t get
much information and
lighting. Its mainly dark which
may suggest the directors
want to hype the audience
Only 3 colours have been used
but the red mainly is used to
stick out and make the poster
more memorable. Its been
used for the title and slogan
“Believe In Hope”.
Included in the poster is the main
actors name as this allows a basic
interaction with the fans which
increases interest
Focus is primarily on
the main character in
the foreground. It
draws away any
attention from the
background.
The tagline shows us that there
much more to the movie than this
one poster and it gives us an
element of excitement as we are
more intrigued to find out what is
going on. The main actors stance
also gives us that there is a lot of
fighting involved as we see blood
and boxing gloves. This causes the
audience to be more concerned
into the movie
3. Background gives
us very little detail
and is out of focus
to draw attention
towards the main
character.
The main characters
name is included in poster
to increase interest
around movie and as we
know will smith is a big
and successful actor this
also increases popularity.
The slogan “Even Legends
Have A Hero” gives us a
sense of what the movie
may be about which gives
audience a big motive to
watch it. The way will smith
is portrayed also shows us
he is important and is
about to do something
incredible as his body
language shows us his
confidence
The colourway used is
vague and does not show
much besides this one
character. This adds
mystery as we don’t know
who he is. Apart from his
ego as the way he is
positioned
