Film Poster Analysis


1. What do you think the film is about and what might the storyline be?
2. What genre(s) do you think the film belongs to?
3.Who do you think is the target audience?

1. Looking at the film poster, the background signifies the type of genre and the setting, As shown, the movie is mainly set in space and establishes that there will be violence due to the weapon in the film poster. the film poster indicates that their will be conflict  with space ship which perhaps is set in the  future.

2.Noticing the background and the font of the title, it may suggest the genre is SC-FI. Also the futuristic weapons hint that it is a sc-fi film.

3. I think this movie is appealing towards a 15+ target audience since it is set in a modern era and showcases things that 15 year olds may be interested in.
Due to the violence, it should be restricted from the age below 15.


1. looking at the serif font "scary movie", its written in red connoting danger and violence. However the contrast between the white and red may portray this movie in the comedy genre. Furthermore the background is bright and the victims don't look too terrified. this means the storyline must be based on comedy acts while creating a horror scene.

2.This movie clashes between the horror and comedy genre. Mostly comedy since they create a joke out of a horror movie.

 3. in my opinion the audience that will most likely to watch this would be 18+ due it being in a horror genre. In the film poster, there are all adults playing a role in the movie suggesting there will be some inappropriate language or sexual scenes.







Uzak 

1. Looking at the film poster, it seems to me that the man dressed in black is a  victim of a crime or is being chased by a group of dangerous people. This may interpret that the man in the poster is very violent or heroic.

2.  I think the genre is Urban crime as the setting of the film poster is very dull and doesn't appear to be a wealthy place. The man is wearing all black, this will reinforce typical stereotype on him being a villain.

3. I believe the movie will be focused on a 18+ audience because an urban crime genre normally consists of  sex scenes and many gang fights involving guns and knifes. This will not be suitable for a young audience due to the great about of violence being played.

I'm not Scared 

1. Observing the film poster, from my perspective i think the story line is about a boy discovering a cave hidden in a abandon land. However, is scared to visit the cave as he doesn't know what lays underneath. This creates tension and suspense for the audience since we are also not familiar with whats in the cave. There is low top shot suggesting the cave goes down really deep causing anxiety for the audience and the person in the movie.

2. I think the genre is scfi and horror as he might discover something unusual or from a different planet. In a cave its dark and eerie therefore will consist of jump scares.

3. This film poster perhaps appeals to a 12+ audience as we don't see any adults or female characters in the poster. The boy in the poster will draw audience that are his age. If their is a boy , it show involve humour or horror suitable for a 12+ audience.

Sin city

1. The background of the film poster is very dark and dull suggesting their will be tension involving murders. The storyline perhaps will be based on solving murder mysteries due to the  intense setting and many main characters. I believe all the characters are either a group of  hit-men or all involved  in a case of murder.

2. The Title "Sin city" portrays a sinister image of the movie therefore, i think the genre is Action/Mystery. The variety of weapons showcased in the suggest will consist of some action codes throughout the movie. The mystery will create some enigma codes for the audience the movie goes along.

3. I believe this film poster is appealed to a target audience aged 18+ since their are many weapons that could influence young viewers. The mystery and clues could possibly be difficult for a young audience to understand.

Pirates of the Caribbeans

1. The film poster seems very vibrant and colourful. This gives us an insight on what the film could be about. The ships and the furious waves  suggest there will be ship battles. Since its set in a era where there are ships and pirates, the props that will appear in this movie will be swords and medieval clothes. This indicates that the movie will involve violence with swords but with a action scene appropriately set in the pirate era.

2. the genre for this movie is action/adventure since it involves pirates and ships. The main goal for a pirate is treasure which falls in the adventure genre perfectly.

3.   From the colour scheme,  it signifies that its aimed at a younger age. Many young civilians have been read pirate stories therefore, this film will be suitable for young children and will offer humor or action that is child friendly.

Bride and Prejudice 

1.  The film poster is taken at a long shot angle to make the surroundings visible to the audience. The background is very flamboyant and productive. This evinces that the film is about two people from two different religions from opposite locations meet together by fate.  This Love story must have some problem interfering their relationship. One problem perhaps could be religion or cultural rules. This would be resolved as all romantic films do at the end.

2. Looking at the film poster, I can clearly recognize that its a comedy/ romance since the two main characters are back to back and standing in the middle. The middle draws all the audiences attention as they are only attracted to the main focus of the movie.

3. This movie must appeal to a family audience since its based on two families arranging a marriage. This film will be family friendly since its a romantic comedy therefore, will showcase drama and humor among a family audience.

Million Dollar Baby

1. this film poster is mostly surrounded by darkest suggesting there will be intense action or conflict towards an evil organisation. The poster is an over the shoulder shot of the women showing just her  back and we are able to see the faces of the other characters in the movie. This causes suspense as we are not familiar with the face of the main character. This suggest she plays an important role as a boxer or some sort of mixed martial arts.  The poster subverts stereotypes as the female is shown to be the main character and seems to be very robust and strong to fit a role of a dangerous women.

2. Observing the dull and dark poster, it hints that the genre may be action since the women's clothing seems to be clothes you wear to a boxing match. The other two mysterious men at the back could be the villains as they are mostly consumed by the dark and reveal a eerie posture in the poster.

3. The target audience that will be suitable to watch this movie will be aged 15+ as some kids will not be comfortable watching brutal action scenes where as,  people that are 15 and over are able to handle a great amount of blood and will less likely to be influenced from the bad behavior.
