Film poster analysis part2





Sin city:

 In this poster the fact that nearly all the characters have guns could show a link to assassins as guns are usually their weapon of choice. The film also seems to be an action/thriller of some sorts because of the use of colours, particularly red as it signifies blood so there might be a few deaths involved over the course of the film. It also has a rainy effect to it which suggests it will most definitely not be an uplifting film. The target audience could be teenagers possibly over 15 as the poster seems quite grim and the use of lighting which is dark and gloomy could indicate it's use of violence.




Dead man's chest

the poster seems to suggest the film will be about pirates and also possibly war or at least revenge of some sorts, judging by the burning ships in the background. The colours and the style indicate an old fashioned setting dating back centuries perhaps as the background image seems to be painted in oil colours as opposed to the real life stills of the actors. The genres could be fantasy as pirates of the sort depicted in the poster are usually make believe. The target audience could be 12+ or anyone who relishes adventure and fantasy which the film seems to offer plenty of.


Million dollar BABY:

 the film judging by the poster could be about some sort of penance or atonement and trying to put things right. The fact that the main subject of the poster is a girl dressed in sports attire could be playing homage to changing attitudes towards females taking part in sports. The colours, which seem to throw a shadow on everything but the girl, could indicate she is an example of hope. The target audience could be anyone into sports dramas as sport seems to be one of the main themes of the film. The genre could be drama because the gaze of the actors seems to be focused on something in the distance which they have to face which gives it a dramatic air.



I'm not scared:

 the film could be about facing up to fears and doing what is morally right, because of the contrast between the perfect summers sky to the deep, dark and almost bottomless hole in the ground, which suggests that the boy has a chance to leave the hole far behind. The fact that the title of the film is on the hole indicates the boy is willing to step out of his comfort zone. The target audience could perhaps be people who are looking for a film that has a mysterious side to it and also to be taken out of their own comfort  zones and delve into their own fears in a way. The genre could be thriller because of the sense of not knowing what awaits the boy looking down into the hole.





Blade runner:
I think the film could definitely be very action related purely because it has weapons such as guns and props in the field of war, terror and also conflict, this can be inferred because weapons are usually used in rivalry and destruction. The lighting also has a huge impact on how a person judges the film, in this particular poster the back ground is subtle and and plan black with stars in the sky which is perfectly normal however it is obstructed by a large bright yellow light which beams out on the corner of the poster, which could suggest that there will be abnormality and a disruptive change in the film. The facial expression on the male characters face could also imply on pressure, eagerness and a sense of fright that cannot be avoided and has forced him into this agonising dispute. The text is very small however 'BLADE RUNNER' has a larger font size and is written in red which may emphasise the words 'Blade' and 'Runner'. Blades are usually used to rip brake or cause destruction which may reflect on the theme of the film, the word 'Runner' could lead us to believe that in this film there is a constant need to run away, this is normally to get away from something someone is feared from or would like to avoid maybe because its dangerous. The fact that it is written in red could emphasise death ad bloodshed as blood is red. Overall I think that this film is targeted at a teenage male audience.



Bride and prejudice: 

i think that this film is revolved around romance purely because of the title it has been given 'bride' this is usually associated with weddings and love. however I think that there could be a twist of comedy in it due to the facial expressions of the characters they do not look like they are about to get wed. overall i believe that the genre of the film is romantic comedy. Additionally we can also see that this film is funny because it says so on top of the title. The target audience would be young people who may be looking for love or just looking to have a laugh. the colours and contrast of the film poster is bright and attractive this implies that its there for fun and entertainment in a rather lively way. 









Straight away the colours suggest a sad, gloomy, hopeless atmosphere, as they are grey black and white and some dull green. the film looks like it has a realistic genre and could actually be based around lonliness as the man is standing on his own away from the rest of civilisation and residential area. the fact that he is wearing a coat could emphasise on how cold it is this pathetic fallacy, he might have a cold mood because of how the rest of the world has treated him. The use of clouds covering the area could suggest how something is covering up and clouding his feelings hence the reason he is alone. the target audience could be an older more, mature audience as the film seems as though there is a lesson to be learnt from it, the word UZAK is in turkish so it may attract people who are interested in turkish culture etc.
