1. It is noticeable that the genre of the film is
Sci-Fi mainly because of the background of
the poster, where it shows it is set in space
and there are visible futuristic space ships.
The poster also shows a character in the
centre with a very heroic stance who might
be a main character in the film.
The font of the title is bright, bold
and futuristic looking. The tagline
just above ‘This is not a game’
plays on the name of the film which
This character may play a big
part in the film, and as he is
wearing an armored suit there
may be a battle or war involved.
The target audience may broaden due to
who is in the film. For example any fans of
popular actor Harrison Ford may be
drawn in by his appearance. This film
would have target audience of mostly
young adults and children aged 13 and
over because of the space/ action
adventure theme.
The poster has a
serious mood to
it. which is
shown by how
the different
characters are
shown at the
bottom, in a very
technical and
computerised
manner, Which
links to the Sci-Fi
genre. The
bright light
shining over the
characters
shoulder also
draws attention
to him as a
leader of some
sort or that he
has a big
contribution in
the movie.
The Tagline at the top of the poster
is used to give extra promotion to
the film by giving it the title of a
bestseller. Letting viewers know
how successful this film may be
and that it is a must watch. The two
main focuses of this poster are the
title and image. There is less
information compared to other
film posters as the poster is using
different techniques of gaining an
audience by using an effective
image which shows enough detail
to get the audience thinking and
wanting more.
This may be the hero or
main character in the
movie. He is looking out
into space at what may
be a large space ship
but is not completely
shown on this poster.
This draws in the
audience as there is a
mysterious character
and they want to know
what he is staring at.
