Research Film Poster
The
Condemned
This feature film poster is about ten
prisoners who will fight to the death and have only one prisoner left, which
that prisoner will be set free and given a cash reward. While all of this is happening the world can
pay to watch the prisoners fight to the death. All of the colours that are used
in this feature film poster, are all near enough the same, which are white;
grey; black and brown. The reason for the black, brown and green is because
these colours are mainly found outside in the woods. So this tells the audience
that the prisoners are going to take their last stand in the woods. The lighting
that is used in this feature film poster is called back light. Back lightening
is where it separates objects or characters from the background, to make them
stand out from the feature film poster. In this feature film poster all of the
characters are standing in one line, with the most important characters more to
the front. The back lightening makes the main character stand out even more,
from the rest of the characters. The layout of this feature film poster is that
the characters are in-between the main text of the feature film poster. So when
the audience read the top text of the poster, they will have to scroll down from
the top to the bottom to see the title of the film. The character's costumes
suit where they are, which is in the woods, but probably the most important
reason why they are wearing those clothes is because they are prisoners. Another
way that can be told that they are prisoners is that one of the characters is
wearing shackles around her wrists. The main character that is in front of the
other prisoners is holding two weapons, which shows that this film is mainly
about fighting. Another reason is that it makes the main character more leading
and powerful, then all of the other characters. The title of the feature film
poster is all in capital letters, which makes the title, stand out. The colour
of the title is a musty white, which could mean that the white is representing
human beings and the dirt around the title, could represent that all prisoners
have a dirty history. The target
audience for this feature film is both male and female aged between 18 - 35
years old. The target audience is also people that enjoy action and adventure
films.
Death Race
This feature film poster is
about 20 prisoners half male and the other half female prisoners, where the male
prisoners drive their way to victory, while the female prisoners assist their
victory. The prisoners get their freedom only if they win three races in a row,
but each car gets their own set of weapons and defences to try a secure their
victory. While all of this is happening the world can pay to watch the
prisoner's race to their death. All of the colours that are used in this feature
film poster are all near enough the same, which are silver; red and black. The
reason for the colour of silver is because the whole film is based around cars
and cars are made from steel, so the poster is getting a metal look. The reason
for the colour black is that it shows that death is upon them, as the main
colour of death is black. The reason for the colour red is because it shows that
the main character is linked to the car, so the main character feels at home
with the car. On both of the characters in the poster, you can tell that side
lightening is being used in this poster. Side lightening is used to light up a
object or character of its side, in order to create volume or sometimes used as
a fill light. By using the side lightening it shows that both the characters in
the poster have got a good side and also a bad side to them. The layout of this
feature film poster is that the characters are standing right next to the titles
of the film, so anybody that notices the characters they will also capture the
title of the film as well. The character's appearance of this feature film
poster is that the two main characters are visibly seen to the audience, while
the main car is the leader of the pack and the rest of the characters are behind
them. The clothes of the two characters are simple but also show a deadly side
to their racing style. The title of the feature film poster is that it is all in
capital letters, which makes the title stand out from the rest of the poster.
The colour of the title is a type of a rusty, bloody silver type colour. The
reason for the rusty part is because it is based on driving, so if the title is
rusting away so will be the cars as well. The reason for the bloody part is
because the title is called death race, so the prisoners have got to kill to
survive. The target audience for this feature film is both male and female, but
probably more towards the male side as it is mostly about cars and the age range
will be 15 - 35 years old.
