Spectre Analysis In this ‘TEASER POSTER’ we get a shot of James Bond in a casual looking outfit of a black turtle neck and black jeans he is looking like a normal person however he is giving the camera an intense stare which makes him intimidating. The headline is centered right on top of the stars chest which shows he could be a central character within the film and if anyone has seen the previous James Bond films they would know who he is and his importance to the film. Just below the name of the film, we see the 007 logo which is extremely well known this has been placed there so even if you don’t know what the name Spectre is you will still be interested in the film because it is James Bond and the 007 logo shows everyone that. In his right hand he can be seen holding a gun this is significant as he is a trained killer with a “license to kill” So him holding the gun reflects his characters traits. The bottom of the poster shows the credits

TRANSCRIPT

Spectre Analysis • In this ‘TEASER POSTER’ we get a shot of James

Bond in a casual looking outfit of a black turtle neck and black jeans he is looking like a normal person however he is giving the camera an intense stare which makes him intimidating.

• The headline is centered right on top of the stars chest which shows he could be a central character within the film and if anyone has seen the previous James Bond films they would know who he is and his importance to the film.

• Just below the name of the film, we see the 007 logo which is extremely well known this has been placed there so even if you don’t know what the name Spectre is you will still be interested in the film because it is James Bond and the 007 logo shows everyone that.

• In his right hand he can be seen holding a gun this is significant as he is a trained killer with a “license to kill” So him holding the gun reflects his characters traits.

• The bottom of the poster shows the credits which include MGM, Sony, Colombia, 007.com so it shows there is vast marketing campaigns set up for this

• Also it says ‘COMING SOON’ which shows it is only a teaser trailer which gives the minimum away.

Inception Analysis• At the top of the poster we see ‘LEONARDO DICAPRIO’s’

name Printed across the top resembling a banner this is effective because if it was positioned at a bus stop his name is easily viewable and the viewer will be very interested and assume the film has a certain amount of quality which he brings to the film production. Leonardo DiCaprio also brings a certain amount of bankability to the film.

• There is a sell line saying “YOUR MIND IS THE SCENE OF THE CRIME” this provides the first glimpse of the plot of the film because Leonardo DiCaprio’s character is a thief but he steals peoples dreams and inserts thoughts into people’s mind.

• The image of Leonardo DiCaprio standing in the water is a comparison to the phrase (in deep-water) In the film his character is running from America because he is being accused a crime he never committed (killing his wife)

• In the title ‘INCEPTION’ we can see the image of a maze this is used because the mind is like a maze that Leonardo DiCaprio can navigate his way around.

• He is shown holding a gun which makes him appear dangerous and like he could become a threat at any time.

• In the credits we can see that this film has been made by the same person as The Dark Knight which shows it is a highly esteemed director, also it informs the audience it can be watched in Imax cinemas.

Joker Teaser Poster • This teaser poster is very effective for multiple reasons one being the

fact it is an ambiguous poster there is no indication to who this character is and makes the audience very curious about who this man is however fans of the comics will know the burgundy and purple colours and green hair have long been associated with the baddest bad guy the Joker. I feel the image is much more important than the name or release year as people will associate the Joker with bad guys and will enforce the point the film is about villains of DC.

• The purple holster is important it shows the viewer he is a villain as he has a gun in his holster. It gives the viewer an idea that the Joker is very violent and we can also see he maybe lives for the thrill as there is multiple bullet holes around the Joker

• Joker’s tattoos give a clue to non comic readers who the man in purple is as the one on his right shows a Joker cards emblem which could give people a clue to who this demented man is.

• On the other side is HAHAHAHAHA which is a trademark of Joker with his evil laugh which has become a main trait of the character, The tattoo on his forehead saying ’damaged’ is very effective it gives the audience a new twist on the Joker.

• The release date showing just as 2016 will entice the audience into watching the film as they are being shown a small glimpse but have to wait for the films actual release date and for the movies most important anti-hero.

• Another interesting thing within this poster is the colour of the Jokers skin in an extreme white shade which makes him look other worldly and almost a monster with his green hair. I think the director has used the Verfremdungseffekt to distance The Joker and the audience.

The Adjustment Bureau Analysis• The backdrop of New York is very iconic and one of

the reasons they have put it on the teaser poster as it sets the location of the film up and interests people.

• The shadows of the men against the buildings are very ambiguous and could show danger as the colour black often does portray danger and death.

• The image of ‘MATT DAMON’ and ‘EMILY BLUNT’ running can be linked to the shadows as it shows they are scared and running from the shadows.

• This film doesn’t appear to be an action film as the way they're dressed is very formal and they look as if they have been to an important meeting/dinner.

• The actors names are the same size as the films title this could show that the stars are important and are being relied on to bring in the highest possible amount of paying customers.

• The fact it says ‘FIGHT FOR YOUR FATE’ connotes that for some reason there life is at risk of rapidly changing, also the title being ‘ADJUSTMENT BUREAU’ showing there fate will be changed and adjusted over the course of the film.

Suicide Squad• This poster I feel is very important as it is the first

where we see the Suicide Squad all together it sets the tone for the film with who will and wont be important within the film as may characters seen in the trailer are not here and therefore not as important it also sets a tone as the characters here are mostly well known actors

• The colours in this poster is a very vibrant mix which we as an audience might associate with the suicide squad as they were thrown together much like the colour scheme of this poster, The purple eyes once again link back to the Jokers strong presence within the film.

• This poster also introduces characters and develops them we see Harley Quinn standing there looking and waving at the camera which makes her seem cheeky/menacing also we see them all in full costumes which makes them much more appealing to the audience and would make people interested in the film.

• In all Posters for the main films characters The Joker is included each time this is because most people will know of the Joker and this will give the film a certain amount of bankability as they will know The Joker is comic book royalty.

• The fact the names of key actors are put at the bottom of the poster shows they're looking to inform people about who is going to star in the film.
