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.
