The document discusses and analyzes the posters for three dog-themed films: Marley and Me, The Shaggy Dog, and Beethoven. For the Marley and Me poster, the simplicity draws attention to the dog and conveys the time period. The Shaggy Dog poster features an extreme close-up of the dog to show he is the main character. The Beethoven poster depicts the dog balancing the family on his head to make him seem superior in a funny way.

1. TOP THREE FILM POSTERS.

2. MARLEY AND ME FILM POSTER.
I think that this connotes the dog
family genre perfectly. The
poster is plain and simple
which would draw more
attention to the poster as there
isn’t a lot going on in the
poster. The background is
plain which draws more
attention to the dog, which is
what you want in a film poster.
The colour scheme is simple,
White, red and black is used to
convey the time when the film
is our ad the red is a
Christmas colour. Everything
on this poster is simple which
makes the overall look of the
poster effective.

3. THE SHAGGY DOG FILM POSTER.
This poster is my second
favourite as the dog is
Tim Allen as you can
see his eyes on the
dog, the extreme close
up of the dog shows
that he is the main
character in the film.
The colour scheme is
also white, black and
red, which are the
common colours used
for the Disney films.

4. BEETHOVEN FILM POSTER.
My third and final film poster
that I will be looking at
closely is Beethoven. I was
inspired by this poster as
the close-up image of
Beethoven was balancing
his family on top of his head
which makes the dog seem
superior to the family
members which makes the
overall tine of the poster
funny as dogs cannot be
superior to humans. I also
like the text that has been
used in the film poster as
the text is bold and easy to
read.
