This is one of many Skyfall posters placed around world wide. Unlike many other posters made, this specific Skyfall poster does not include a previous credit or positive quote.This action can be looked upon negatively, due to not showing a positive outcome and appearance towards the targeted audience. Moving onto the long shot of the actual star laying across the bottom of the poster with a gun, shows the audience a hint towards the positioning and moves he may pull later through the film.This positioning can also link in with the fact that this film star is wearing an extremely dominant colour blue which shows his own masculinity and dominance over this prop gun he holds. Furthering on, the writing is shown to be in dominant outstanding black against the white background to catch the attention of the actual audience on the name and the date it is shown for viewing.The famous logo of the James Bond movies is also shown to be in gold which is even more eye-catching but also tells the audience the way this film will be plotted like the other bond films created.This film neither has a film classification or intertextual reference, leaving the audience in a ponderous sight which does become a negative outcome.The costuming shown on the actual actor on the bottom of the poster is well known from the other bond films which creates both continuity throughout the film series, but also helps the audience understand quickly about the film and the characters personality and life. 5.

Trailer Newspaper article Posters Social networking sites e.g. Facebook page. 12. Poster. Upon the film Poster for Harry Brown, a positive quote from a national newspaper was actually used in the top center. In this positive quote a previous credit was used upon GranTorino to prompt the audiences expectations on this new film revealed. By linking these both together, the audience are both prompted but also intrigued with such positive outcomes and expectations. Moving onto the layout of this poster, the main characters name is both shown in the title but also includes his actors name. This shows the audience that both the film would be expensively made meaning a better quality due to having a world wide famous actor.The fact that the actors name is placed there is to prompt the audience further including the fans of this actors work. Furthering on from this, the way the text is placed upon a low angle shot of the character with a gun facing that direction, creates a tense but also intimidating appearance upon the audience. This then creates a sudden twist on the stereo- types people place on the older aged group creating a more intriguing view of the film.The colour saturation of all the text is also important as it reveals to the audience a more urban and dangerous vibe. Moving on from this, the poster seems to not actually contain the a Film classification, which can actually fool the audience into believing that the film is able to be watched by the younger category between 12 and 15 which then creates a larger audience. The costume and background also gives a big hint away to the audience about the setting and area this film would be placed around. By using the traditional big brown coat all buttoned up with a gun is shown to be a juxtaposition between the violence and the higher class, this is then balanced out against a damaged yellow dark wall which resembles the dangerous areas of an Urban place.The dark lightening also helps this interpretation from the 13.
