7. Poster Analysis 3
The colours that have been used in this poster are that it has a
lot of dark colours to show that the time of day is night but
some of the colours that have been used are bright like for the
name of the movie to make it stand out, The lighting that has
been used are bright lights for the street lights and the
helicopters with spot lights on, but most of the lighting is dark to
show that loads or bad things in movie happen in the dark, the
props that have been used in this movie poster is that they have
used tall building to, cars and helicopters to show that they are
searching for something or someone, the costumes that have
been used are the man that we can see first he is wearing
normal clothes like jeans and a jean style jumper
And the person behind him doesn’t look like a real person
because he is green and he is really tall and he doesn't look real
and he is also wearing shorts that don’t really look like they fit
him and he isn’t wearing a top because he might not be able to
find a top to fit him. The location of this poster is that it looks
like America because they have loads of tall building and it just
looks like it would be America. The people that are in the poster
look like they are both back to back it shows us that they don’t
really like each other
8. Soundtrack
• Clip 1 this clip was like a
action clip because of how
he is working.
• Clip 2 this clip was like a
romantic because of how
they are close to each
other.
9. Shining
• The shining didn’t look scary any more because
they have got rid of the bits in the trailer that made
it look scary and just put the bits of the movies that
look ok, then they also changed the sound track to
make it more calm and they change the narrative to
make it like the kids wants to find his dad and the
he finds a different family and hey look after him,
they soundtrack changes what you think about
them and it makes you change what you think and
it makes them look like good people.
10. Scary Mary
• The trailer with Mary Poppins they made it
scary because they changed the time of day to
be always night and they changed the sound
track to sound more like a horror film and they
put the things that she did in the normal
trailer and then it looked like she did them to
hurt them because the music changes what
you think about the person and it makes you
think that they are a bad person and it look
like someone you shouldn’t trust.

19. Clip Analysis
• This clip has created meaning through the costumes because for the bad people they used
really dark colours like black they use this because it hides there identity so we don’t know
what they look like and the good people were wearing light brown and white they do this
because these colours are like natural colours this means that you always know who the good
and the bad people are. The lighting create meaning by giving all of the people a colour red
or blue and the people who had the red colour were the bad ones and the ones with the blue
light saves were the good people.
• The music that they used creates meaning by that it was really suspenseful because they
were fighting and it was getting intense but the music made it even more intense because
the music changes the way you think.
• The camerawork that has been used in the clip creates meaning because they used all
different kinds of angles like close ups this is used to make you see their facial expressions or
so you can see what they look like close up, they also used mid shots to show the fighting
scenes and how they used the light sabers and they also used long shots at the beginning so
you cant fully see what is coming in the distances and then the red light saver comes and you
know that there is going to be trouble because of the red.
• Most of the colours that they use are dark because they want to create the scene that it is in
the dark and this has connotations that bad things can happen in the dark they also use some
light colours because of the lights saves and they wanted to make sure you can see them and
know what they are.
• The dialogue that is used in the clip is that they don’t say a lot of words but they say little
sentences so you know what is going on and they use words like duck and cover so you
would know who were the good people because they are defending their own things.
