Film Poster Analysis

As the poster shows many different futuristic machines, the film may be focused on them and how they may also be a threat to the world. The two characters shown on the poster gives us an idea of the cast and we also get to understand that the man is the main character due to the amount of space he takes up, compared to the woman, in the poster. The slogan at the top right of the poster “Man has made his match……now it’s his problem” suggests that there is an invention created by man that should not have been created as it is described as a problem.
I think the film belongs to the action genre as the poster shows a man carrying a gun which connotes danger and violence. The title of the movie, "Blade Runner" also implies some violence as a blade is a weapon associated with violence. The futuristic machines included in the movie also makes it science fiction.
I think the target audience is over 18s as there is an R rated sign at the bottom of the poster. Also since the gun shows that there will be violence, this makes the movie inappropriate for a younger audience. Also, the woman in the smoking and the man wielding a gun in the poster also makes the film unsuitable for children of a younger age.



As the poster shows different actors similar to the actors of different horror films, the film would probably be parodies of famous horror movies with comedic aspects as the film characters aren't presented in a scary form.
I think the genres are horror and comedy.The film, as the title states, is a "scary movie". Although the title says that it is scary, the review given, changes the viewer's perception of the film being a pure horror film as it describes it to be "absolutely hilarious", showing the film would have some comedy aspects to it. Also, the way the poster has been presented does not have any scary appearances which also supports the film being funny.
I think the target audience are for over 18s as there is an R rated sign on bottom of the poster.The target audience would would probably be those who like the horror and comedy aspects and feel the two genres can make an enjoyable film.


The poster shows a man looking at a dock on a cold bleak day. As there is not much going on in the poster, it is difficult to decipher what the film is about. The title of the film suggests that the film is a foreign film which does not help the audience find out what it is about. The setting shows that the film may be a sad, dramatic film as the setting is very dim and colourless.
I think the genre of the film is melodrama as the film looks like it will have many emotional scenes which may deeply affect the main character.The reviews given on the poster describing the movie to be "Profoundly Beautiful" emphasizes that the film will be emotional for the audience.
I think that the target audience for this film are adults as they will appreciate and fully understand the themes the film is trying to convey. I feel that a younger audience will have trouble connecting with the characters and may get bored from the serious, meaningful film.


This film may be centered on a young boy who faces his fears and confidently completes previous actions that he was once afraid to do. The poster shows the young boy looking at a hole in the ground. This hole may be what the film focuses on as it may be what the boy says he is not scared of.
 I think the genre might be adventure because the movie may be about the boy doing whatever it takes to  conquer his fears and be able to confidently say "I'm not scared".
I think the target audience would be for over 12s as they would be able to relate to the main character who is of a similar age to them and understand the importance of self-confidence and taking risks in life.


The film seems to be about a city where many people commit bad deeds and crimes, hence the name "Sin City". The poster introduces the main characters and what kind of images they will portray in the film. The black and red colours used in the poster emphasizes the dark setting of the movie and the numerous guns assures the viewers that it would be an action-packed film.
I think the genre of the movie is an action-thriller as the guns highlight the intense excitement that is yet to happen in the film. It also creates suspense and tension as the audience anticipates the many action scenes that will be involved in the film
I think the target audience may be over 18s as the guns show that there will be a lot of violence in the movie making it unsuitable for younger children.


This movie seems to be about pirates who go on a difficult mission to retrieve the Dead Man's chest. The large tentacle coming out of the water connotes a dangerous journey that the main characters embark to complete their mission. The fir and the skull and cross bones puts further emphasis on the dangers that the main characters come across.
The genres of the film might be adventure as the poster shows ships sailing through rough seas and difficult obstacles. It may also be action because one of the characters in the poster seems to be holding a gun that implies the intense events that will take place.
The target audience of the film may be younger children from the age of about 10 and above as the world in which the film takes place is a fantasy world. Also, since it sees that the movie will be full of fast paced events, younger children would be able to keep up with the movie and thoroughly enjoy it. 



The film seems to be based on the famous book, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen as the name is very similar. Unlike the original book, this film seems to be taking place in India as the Taj Mahal is shown in the background of the poster. In one half on the poster, westernized characters are shown where as more traditional characters are shown in the other half. This may imply that there will be conflicts but as the atmosphere is very bright and warm, these conflicts might be solved quickly.
The genre of the film is probably romantic comedy as the two main characters look like they will have a budding romance in the film. I think that the different beliefs and ways of living will add to the comedic aspect, making the film more enjoyable.
I think the target audience for this film is all ages as there doesn't seem to be anything inappropriate or unsuitable for anyone. The film looks very fun and heart-warming for those of all ages to appreciate.



The film shows three characters in a dark, mysterious atmosphere. As the main actress is wearing, sports clothes, I think the film might be about a woman who succeeded as an athlete. The mysterious atmosphere may hint at the dark, unseen sides of athletes such as depression, drugs or other issues.
I think the genre might be drama because of the mood created by the colours used in the poster. All the characters also have very serious expressions on their faces which also supports the idea of this film being a drama. There is also a possibility that it could be a documentary about a female athlete trying to rise to fame and become well-known.
I think the audience this film would be available to is over 12s as there doesn't seem to be any inappropriate scenes for younger viewers but the film's target audience would be those of a higher age with some interests in the sports world as it may be slightly boring for those who do not have any interest in this field.
