Movie Poster Analysis

This is the french teaser poster for Le Ballon Rouge. The poster uses the ballon which is the focus of te film and incorporates it into the title text which is very effective. The simple colours of the poster are contrated by the red ballon which draws the attention of the viewer to the ballon. This is a teaser poster which means it is not suppose to give away the title of the film and the poster only shows the title of the film and the director. I like this poster as it uses colour to focus attension on the poster and also incorporates the ballon into the text.

This poster is for the film lord of war which is about an arms dealer. The poster is effective in that it incorporates the profile of the main character in bullets. This is clever as it is a subtle indication as to what the film is aboutwithout giving it away. This poster also has little information on it aswel, only displaying the title and the actor (Nicloas Cage) I like this poster as it incorporates the bullets with the picture which is very clever. We could do something similar to this where two images are combined.


This is a poster for the 2010 film devil. this poster is highly effective and makes good use of black space to represent the film. Like the other posters the image of lift buttons are incorporated into the text which makes the poster effective. The poster does not give away any information about the film other than the location of the film which is a lift. The creative black space does not visually show anything, however it does represent the atmosphere of the film.
This is a teaser poster for the film Saw III. It is clear to see from the poster what the films genre is and as it is the 3rd Saw film it does not need to show very much as the audience will already be familiar with the Saw franchise. Again this poster combines images with text by using the scratches on the wall to show the number 3 which is highly effective. Visually the poster shows a dirty wall and a person fingers with blood on them, this clearly shows the genre of the film but does notgive away any information to the story of the film.
