Analysis of my Two Movie Posters (in Detail)

 

	Movie Poster A
Background: In the background we can see a grey sky covered by white clouds or fog, it is a bit hard to tell.		Writing (font & colour): The font type is capitalized, bent (it makes it look 3D) and coloured in red/orange. It is placed in the middle of the poster and covers the movie characters on the poster partially.
Midground: The dominant image is the four main characters of the movie: two men and two women. They are all looking straight at the viewer. The man on the very left of the poster is holding a shotgun, the man next to him is just standing there in a somewhat uneasy way. The woman in the middle is holding a bloody chainsaw and the girl on the right is placing a shovel on her shoulders. They all look “grumpy” and tense.		That’s Interesting: The images on the poster are all different shapes of  black/brown/grey/white; there’s orange/red tones in the font of the movie title and on the bloody chainsaw. The target audience are older teenagers and adults as the movie is rated 16+ and contains a lot of violence and curse language.
Foreground: The title of the movie is in the foreground. It covers the people on the poster partially.		Overall Mood: The overall mood is “dark” and gloomy; the characters on the poster do not look happy and as they all have weapons in their hands/over their shoulders, we expect something horrible to happen in the movie.

	Movie Poster B
Background: The movie poster is displaying characters that are standing on a highway. In the background we can see a highway sign and a monster truck. Next, we can see a dark blue/greyish sky with fog covering the background.		Writing (font & colour): The names of the actors are written in a big, yellow and big, all letters are capitalized. The names of the four main actors are displayed over their heads in the grey, foggy sky.  The title of the movie is written in capital dark orange letters on the highway (below the four people).  The names of the cast, director, etc. are written in a smaller (also capitalized) white font that is quite thin and “squashed” font.
Midground: In the midground we can see four characters (two women and two men) standing on a highway. The woman on the left has her right knee bent and her head tilted and has an AK in her hand, the man next to her is wearing a cowboy hat, a shotgun on his belt and is pointing a baseball bat at the viewer. The woman in the middle is holding a tommy gun and the man on the right of the poster is holding a shotgun. They are all wearing jeans and leather jackets, all coloured in black/grey/army shades. They all have a moody or “grumpy” expression on their faces and look aggressive and ready to fight.		That’s Interesting: There are four people with weapons, I am asking myself in what kind of situation they find themselves in. Why do they need guns? What are they doing on the highway all alone? Why is there a monster truck in the background?
Foreground: In the foreground of the poster we can see the highway and the title of the movie (as well as the names of the actors/producers, etc.).		Overall Mood: The overall mood of the poster is dark and “gloomy”, we are facing four people holding weapons (one is even pointing his weapon at us) on a lonely highway. We get the feeling something bad will happen.
