3. The character of Blade
being in front of the
eye’s looking straight
ahead and being
behind him makes it
seem as though he’s
being watched
His facial expression
and body language
portrays him as a very
sombre character
The border headers of
the title looks sharp
and the colour being
silver like blades with
the word “blade”
between them adds to
the title and puts
emphasis on it
The red lighting in this
poster adds to the
Gothic nature of the
film and makes the
eyes in the background
look more disturbing
and as if they have
some evil behind them.
The wearing of the
glasses in the poster
could be to hide the
fact he’s half-mortal,
half-vampire, until
revealed in the movie.
As his iris is red in the
actual movie when he
takes the glasses off.

4. This effect on the
villain's face in the
background makes the
villain seem more
mystical as it makes
the features of the
villain's face in this
poster look more sci-fi
like and the genre of
this second edition
movie actually
involves Sci-fi
The font of the writing
looks silver like a blade
and the red outline of
the font makes it look
more harsh and the
movie more hard-core/
action-packed
The holding of the sword
in this poster helps to
establish a new story line
in the second edition to
the “Blade” triology
and establishes action
The showing of gadgets
attached to his body
establishes that
although he’s halfvampire, he’s also halfmortal and still needs
gadgets to defeat some
of his enemies
