Poster Research

This is a poster promoting The Dark Knight. It uses ambient media to create a face which represents the 'Joker' from the film. The red paint represents the Jokers creepy, bloody makeup but it also shows the Batman symbol which links to the protagonist the 'Batman' I like this poster because of how evil looking but random it looks. The simpleness of the poster is really effective as it draws attention because of the plain white background and the bright red bat symbol pasted onto it. At the top of the poster there is a quote from the film "WHY SO SERIOUS?" Quoting the film is a good technique as it gives the audience a sneak preview. At the bottom of the poster the title is coloured in white on top of the shadow at the bottom of the poster which could symbolise a hero 'Batman' rising from darkness to save Gotham (the city featured in the film). Finally there is a date right at the bottom telling us when the film will be released. This is essential as the audience need to know when the film is out so they can go and view it.

This Jurassic Park poster uses the logo from within the actual film to promote itself. This is a great technique as it makes the audience  imagine what the film will be like rather than the poster showing a character or 'dinosaur' from the film which would make the film less surprising and effective. The red and yellow colours used stand out from the black background and make the poster look bright and the black t-rex emphasises the mysterious nature of the way the park is run and the fact that the t-rex is a skeleton promotes the fact that it is extinct, yet it is stood up which implies it has been brought back to life, which once again hints the films story. The white text above the image says "A STEVEN SPIELBERG FILM" because this piece of text is isolated at the top of the poster, it draws attention so the audience will notice the director. Finally the "An Adventure 65 Million Years In The Making." quote uses humour and wit in a sense which is smart and it is amusing to read from an audience's perspective.

This is a poster promoting Hard Candy the visuals are very stylish and they immediately grab you with its juxtaposition of a vulnerable young girl and the huge bear trap which looks dangerous and almost sinister, the poster seems to resemble Little Red Ridinghood but it also has an overwhelming effect of "Don’t look now the girls gunna get splattered!" which makes the poster very dramatic looking. However, the best thing about this poster is the use of bright red which symbolises danger, blood and death, which are most likely implemented within the film. The title 'HARD CANDY' is also very eye catchy, even though the text isn't brightly coloured the boldness and the capitalisation makes it stand out well, but not enough to take the shock of the image away from the poster.
