Film Poster Deconstruction

Film Poster Deconstruction

 

Inception

 

•  Colour scheme: Dark blue, white misty effect, black shadow. Creates a sense of mystery and instigates an enigmatic feel. Title of film is in red to emphasise the important of the naming of the film.

• Picture: it’s a surreal background that makes people look twice and creates mystery

• Tag line: ‘your mind is the scene of the crime’ links to the dream scene of the narrative. Questions reality.
• Typography: Sharp plain font to reflect to at tentative nature of the film
• Actor: The big star actors name is at the top so when people first see that they are in a film they will acknowledge the film poster more attentively. 

Fury

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Colour scheme: Dull blacks and greys to portray the eerie, bleak reality of war.

• Background: Pathetic fallacy of the clouds reflects the dark times to come for the protagonist.

• Positioning of image: The main image of the protagonists is in the bottom right hand corner of the poster to engage the audience.
• Title: The title of the film is on the barrel of a tank which links with the title of the film ‘Fury’ as tanks connate war and violence,
• Tagline: ‘War never ends quietly’ creates an enigma in the narrative.
• Typography: The title of the film and actors fonts juxtapose each other which suggests they are being forced to fight.

The Wolf of Wall Street

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Colour Scheme: yellow/gold colour represents the strong presents of money in the film. The fact the protagonists name is in black submerged in the yellow/gold colour suggest the protagonist has been engulfed by money.


• Image: The protagonist is in a slick, formal suit which adds to connotations of a wealthy person. Chaotic celebration in the background juxtaposes the calm state of protagonist. Celebration of money?


• Typography: Is big, bold strict font that has connotations of wall street and money. Represents the bold persona of the protagonist and narrative of the film.


• Monkey: Playing with the people in the background suggest that people on wall street have reverted back to primitive states where they are infatuated by money and sex; there's a stripper as well.
