The teaser and main posters for the 2014 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film differ in what they show the audience. The teaser posters only show the hands and weapons of each turtle character to hint at the film, while the main poster shows their full bodies to fully reveal who they are. Both posters use the same iconic font and colors to link them together. The teaser posters also help build excitement before the film's trailer and main poster are released, giving just a few clues, while the main poster provides more details on the film, characters, and genre for audiences.

Analysis of teaser and main posters

3. • A teaser and main poster for any film have to be very
different. A teaser poster just shows an object or a hint to
what the film is about. In the TMNT teaser poster you can
only see the main characters hands with their choice of
weapon. You can see just from the hand who the character
is, each turtle has their specific colour and this is shown with
the coloured bandages on their wrists. A fan of the turtles
will understand at once who each wrist belongs too, they
don’t need to show the whole character for the audience to
understand.
• This is different to the main poster because the main poster
shows the whole body of the main characters. Even if the
audience isn't a big fan of the previous films they can see
and fully understand who the characters are and what sort
of film it is going to be. The title is in the same iconic font on
the main and teaser poster which helps the audience to see
that they are the same film. The main and teaser posters
have their similarities, they use the same colours, the font
are the same and the characters used on both posters are
the same.

4. There were 4 different teaser posters made for the 2014 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movie and each one shows a
different character. The layout of the posters are the same, the hand of each turtle with their weapon to show that
the film will be action and some sort of danger. The mist in the background matches the colour of the individual
turtle and it's in the same area, this cold show that they fight together, they have the same stance and nearly
everything is the same about each poster, just the colour and the weapons are different. The positioning of the title
is in the same place on each poster as well.

5. • This main poster shows more of what the
film is about than the teaser poster. It
features what the main charters look like
and what their new image is. At the bottom
of the poster it uses the same font and
colours as the teaser poster. It has the
release date of the film and the directors,
producers etc, just like a normal main
poster for any film.
• The colours used are very dark with some
green in the background and the characters
show the most colour in the poster. This
could show that the characters are the main
feature of the film because they are the
ones in colour, against the black
background.

6. • The teaser and main posters for the 2014 remake of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle
have their similarities but also have their differences. The main poster has more
details about the film, the genre and characters. The main and teaser posters use
the same colours and background, the background for both posters is plain black
which helps for the features of the poster to stand out more, this will attract
more attention from the public. Teaser posters are used to get the audience
excited for the film, the teaser poster comes out before the official trailer and it's
only used to give a few hints, not to give away main parts of the plot. A main
poster is used to give more information about the film and this is released before
the film and along with the official trailer.
• I think that both the main and teaser posters for this film are very good, they
include the main features of an ordinary poster and they use a range of colours to
bring the characters to the front of the poster and to help them stand out. You
can tell what genre the film is going to be and the audience doesn't really need
any background information information to understand what the posters show.
