Film Poster analyse

[Audio] Hello and welcome to my year 8 Media presentation. My name is Lucy Hodgetts and today I will be analysing and comparing two film posters based on how well they use media codes and conventions to show the theme/genre..

[Audio] The two film poster I will be analysing today are Men in black and Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith..

[Audio] Men in black is a movie about two secret agents trying to protect people aliens. The movie stars Tommy Lee Jones and Will smith and it was released in 1997. This poster mainly uses the tagline and the main image to promote the film..

[Audio] In this slide, I have broken down all the features and conventions shown on the previous slide. I have explained how the main image and tagline are eye catching, and how the title and names of the main actors in the film are strategically placed so that they don't take away from the main part of the poster. These have been used effectively and make the poster memorable..

[Audio] Here I analysed the overall layout of the poster. I explained how the poster is busier than most, but still effective and pleasant to look at. I also discussed how the audience I able to remember the 2 things that stand out the most..

[Audio] Finally, I analysed the poster as a whole. I made a judgement on how well it advertises the film and its' theme and whether it was a success or not. In the end, I explained the effect of the different colours and deemed the poster successful in advertising..

[Audio] Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith is a 2005 science fiction/ action movie about Anakin Skywalker slowly turning to the dark side. The poster mainly advertises the movie using images, using a background, middle ground and fore ground. The movie title is also included..

[Audio] This slide explains all the conventions used and how effective they are. I mainly talked about the main/ middle ground image, as it is the most noticeable thing on the poster. I talked about the other images and the title, talking about how they help sell the movie..

[Audio] This is my evaluation of the overall layout, I talked about how I felt there were too many things going on at once. Even though I felt this way, I talked about it's still a successful poster, with the colour scheme used to help get the point across..

[Audio] Here is my final evaluation of the poster altogether. I talked about how it's similar to other Star Wars posters, with the many images making up the poster. I talked about how the images used explain the main story of the film, and how it doesn't include what other posters have normally. Overall, I believe this poster was able to successfully sell the movie..

[Audio] This is my comparison on how well the posters did. I talked about how both posters were able to advertise the theme of science fiction and action, and how they both were memorable and used colour well. In the end, I explained that I though the Star Wars poster was slightly better, as the tagline on Men In Black took away from all the other aspects of the poster..
