Analyzing Movie Posters

It has an ongoing flow of how the audience should read the poster. Beginning with the tagline then comes the comic strip which describes the story of the movie then the headline (movie title). The poster is trying to mention that movie is incredible and unique from

Imagery uses color as well that is eye catching to anybody. For instance, in a poster with a large British solider, this shows that they are powerful and should be looked up to. Below the solider are hardworking citizens which do work and this helps aid to the solider to grow. Additionally, there is another poster that states "Woman of Britain" and has a picture of a factory worker standing right under war planes. It is stating that they have the power to aid with the war by working. Overall, imagery is a necessary part of posters and propaganda to persuade an audience.

There are also many advertising posters. One of the most recognizable pieces of work is one by J. Howard Miller, showing a classic image of a woman wearing a red and white bandanna and a blue shirt (almost recreating the “Old Glory”) who is shown looking directly at the viewer while flexing her bicep with the slogan "We Can Do It!”. There is another poster that is probably not as famous and widespread as Miller’s (due to copyright ownership) but equally, if not more important: the poster by the Saturday Evening Post cover artist, Norman Rockwell.

The first poster I will talk about is “When you ride alone you ride with Hitler” This Poster was created by American painter Weimer Pursell. This Anti-Nazi advertisement, was nationally distributed by the United States government during WWII. The poster shows a man in a suite riding in a car with a ghost image that represents Adolf Hitler. The purpose of the poster was to encourage carpooling among Americans, so that the United States could conserve gasoline. During WWII gasoline was very important because it was used tanks and aircraft. The U.S government wanted to encourage people to carpool and not waste anymore gasoline then they had already.The second poster I will address is called “Liberators” This Nazi poster was created in 1944. While the Nazi’s believed propaganda as a vital tool in

Advertising is everywhere, sometimes it is subtle, other times it is overt. Propaganda posters are a form of advertising; they were used extensively by many countries in the 1940’s during World War II. By attempting to reach the public directly with a powerful and emotional message, they became an effective means to deliver that message. Similar techniques are used in modern advertising. A 2015

The movie poster that I have chosen is Maleficent, produced by Walt Disney and is released in year 2014. Movie poster is very important as it is considered as an advertisement for a particular movie. With containing the powerful visual elements of the movie such as the famous actors, movie title and attractive image, it can easily grab the audience’s attention. Some of the movie posters may include the main actor’s name as well. These visuals are vital to convey impactful messages to the audience and persuade them to watch. Maleficent is an example of using actress’s name to attract audience. The main actress name, Angelina Jolie is written in an elegant and simple black capital letters in serif typeface and is placed in upper part of the poster.

Additionally, the construction of characters is broken up in pieces that are not just history. Not only do the young characters in the film make it easier for the younger generation to sympathise and identify with. It also allows time for the viewers to reflect on what they have just seen. As well as this,

This poster looks the way it does because it seems to glorify war with many hot colors (red, orange and yellow) and being an exceptional warrior. The people in the background seem to be in pain and dying. There also appear to be rather large explosions in the background. It shows a courageous and powerful woman wearing an armor and having two swords on her both hands. This thing is indicating an incredible woman who have many monsters behind her, and she walks through them. It means that she killed the monsters, overcame her challenges, and destroyed the war to protect the world and maintain the piece. The poster also shows that the movie with a supper woman will be coming soon because the poster has ‘COMING SOON’ is bold and and capital with

Often advertisements with avoided or heavy messages like to use startling images to draw in a reader's attention and force them to acknowledge the subject. Opon a brief glance the first thing a reader sees is a big gun with a megaphone head attached to one side. The somewhat frightening and very conflicting image has no apparent meaning or point until you see three words in small letters: “Words kill wars.”

In almost every piece of text, there are rhetorical elements. These elements are used to provoke the reader to think deeply, search for underlying meanings, and discover the purpose of the text. I analyzed two movie posters: Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay. Both of these movies signify the end of a saga; hence, the movie posters are filled with provocative and intriguing features. These are intentionally placed within the poster in order to attract their audience and create suspense.

If as an audience member you were to look at a movie poster, you would expect a basic idea of the film, wouldn't you? With the Jaws poster, just enough is given for the audience to make the assumption that it has something to with sharks, applying to the horror factor but not enough is given to justify the main concept. As a viewer myself, I wouldn't be able to tell who the person swimming in the poster is or how big of a part humans, in general, have to with the film considering the shark is the main point of focus. With this, it gives the audience just enough to be interested and satisfied with the poster, but not enough to satisfy their interest that comes with watching the movie itself. In addition to being interesting, the poster needs

acting of the cast than the 1971 film. The imagery is more appealing to the younger

Our group’s advertising posters were really good. We paid a fair price for our posters and got good spots. Bening, Claudia and Mattia drew really well. About one or two weeks before Market Day Trial, we all worked together to figure out our jingle. On Market Day, we advertised our store with blankets and balloons.

It’s time to start the process of renewing our paint booth permit. Our booth is not moving enough air to meet the OSHA minimum requirement. The state inspector told us last year that he would not allow us to renew this year until we corrected the problem. He typically comes in April for the annual inspection.

Just like they do with everything else in a modern-day movie industry, they exploit the movie posters a lot. Overexposing is definitely a trend now... On, let's say, a Monday, an attention-grabbing poster for a film like Spring Breakers surfaces online and gives off that iconic feeling of old; on that following Thursday, though, two new alternate one-sheets premiere on various blogs and instantly dilute the initial poster's impact.
