1. Task 6: research into 6 film posters
This is the film poster for the film avatar. I chose to analyse
this poster because, I believe they have used allot of
interesting techniques to create this poster. I personally
believe that the image they have chose, will really draw in
the audience as they have the two main characters placed
at the top then they have the floating boulders, they flying
creature with an avatar riding it. I think that by them
choosing this image which is really good to look at it will
draw in the reader to see what it would look like in the film.
I also like how they have added at the top of the poster 2
previous films that have been a huge that were directed by
the director of this film.
This shows the audience previous success of the director
and is used as a ploy to lure the leader. I personally think
this is a good example of a film poster as its bright and
colourful, with lots on the poster too look at.
Pain and gain is a film where the main focus is to scam rich
men into signing over all their business and assets such as
their house and cars. Looking at the poster you see to very
serious threating blokes being mark Wahlberg and the rock
both very well-known actors in the UK and America. The
images of them take up a large majority of the poster to try
and attract the attention of the audience. They also show a
speed boat racing through the see, which shows us the
action and thrilling events that will take place during the
movie. They also have put an attractive young lady in the
middle of the poster that feature in the film. I believe this is
done to try and attract the male audience they are trying to
get to watch this movie, as a majority would want to watch
the film to see the action and mire of the women that’s on
the front of the poster.

2. Task 6: research into 6 film posters
Straight away in this film poster we
notice the stars on the top of the
poster and the quotes next to them.
This shows us what certain
magazines or film blogs/websites
have rated the film and a brief
description of it. This gives the
audience other well-known movie
critic’s opinions of it. And since the
film got good rating it temps the
audience to go and watch the film.
The image in the poster links to the
humour in the film as theirs a man
stood urinating next his teddy that’s
doing the same with a beer in his
hand. This humorous picture shows the audience the sort of silly humour that will
feature in the film. In this poster they also add place where you can follow the social
networking pages for this film, this can be another way in which they can try and
persuade people to watch the film.
This film poster simply advertises the large amount of quality action film actors they have in this film,
by doing this they attract a huge audience as a majority of people on the planet will know at least
one person on this poster and straight away know that this has the potential to be a very exciting
action packed movie. Another thing that shows us that this will be action packed movie is the
explosions and fire in the background.

3. Task 6: research into 6 film posters
Straight away in this poster we notice the huge tower of what
looks like human body’s climbing up a bus to jump onto this
helicopter. You straight away notice the fact some of these
bodies are failing to their death to try and get this helicopter
which highlights the tenacity of these zombies and shows us the
horror within the film. You also see that at the top of the poster
they have the name of the main actor Brad Pitt, which is an
actor that is well known all over the world and is a great way to
try and draw in the audience to watch the film. I think another
way they have drawn in the audience would be that the name of
the film being “world war z” by having “world war” links the
mass destruction and huge devastation all over the world, and
the z standing for zombies. This gives a small idea of what the
film is going to be like which will draw in and excite the
audience.
On this poster we straight away notice in bright red letters
that the film was shortlisted for British film of the year
award. This advertises to the audience that it is a good
quality movie and a must see film of the year. Also the
name of the film is in the middle of a target, so it shows us
that this film is going to involve shooting and possible
violence, which will attracted an audience interested in
action movies. They have Michael Caine at the side of the
poster who is probably one of Britain’s best actors which
will attract the audience and get them to take notice in the
poster.
