Film poster analysis
1) Perhaps a film about escaping from captivity set in the future, as can be inferred from the sci-fi props and scenery focused on in the poster and the stern man holding a gun with light shining behind him, presenting a symbol of hope for escaping. The woman may serve as the deuteragonist and possible love interest to the man (especially with the cigarette implying a femme fatale sort of character), so she could be the one being saved.
2) Action sci-fi, due to the dramatic lighting of contrasting dark and light colours, as well as the futuristic props and the lead holding a gun.
3) Adults, due to the serious atmosphere of the poster and the sci-fi genre.
1) The storyline doesn't seem to be important, due to the meta setting of the movie poster (a cinema) demonstrating that the movie doesn't take itself very seriously, however it can be assumed it will focus on parody and comedic scenes throughout.
2) Comedy, parody, horror, again with the meta setting and various references on the characters.
3) Young adults, teenagers. The comedy genre and spoof of other scary movies could appeal to many age groups. Adults may enjoy watching it to see the tropes associated with the horror genre get spoofed.
1) The mood of the poster suggests a dramatic, perhaps dystopian story line with the factory smoke filling the air and the singular mysterious hooded character looking on at the scene. However the reviews on the film poster suggest something less depressing, and more hopeful.
2) Drama, world cinema. Seeing as the title is in another language and the movie was made not in Britain. The drama comes from the dramatic appearance of the poster, with the lone-wolf singular character looking on at the grimy and musky water and landscape.
3) Adults, due to the dramatic tone of the poster.
1) The storyline could be about a boy who clings onto hope in a dark time of his life, as the blue sky in the background connotes hope against the dark mysterious hole he looks into. He could be adventuring into somewhere he shouldn't, which leads to the plot of the movie tailing the boy as he tries to avoid trouble.
2) Horror, mystery. The name of the movie invokes a scary atmosphere will be present within the movie. The mystery comes from what lies within the hole he looks in on.
3) Young adults, teens. The age of the protagonist may attract a younger audience, however horror usually has higher age ratings so not too young.
1) The use of bold red typography against an almost entirely black and white background suggests the story to be grim and dark, perhaps about a group or gang committing crimes. The characters are holding guns and black clothing, further suggesting them to be criminals. There is a lone man, framed much smaller than the others above him, perhaps signalling the movie to be about a gang being tracked by someone in higher power or the other way round.
2) Action, thriller, crime. The weapons and framing of the 5 people on the poster connote an excitable and high-action pace to the movie. Crime and thriller can also be inferred from the stern faces of the people on the poster and their weapons connoting their willingness to kill and fight. The name also connotes crime and action, as when you sin you are usually punished for it.
3) Adults, as the serious and bleak tone of the poster would be most appealing to them.
1)Probably about pirates... the captain and his crew go looking for a treasure chest out at sea and encounter murderous creatures and probably rival pirates who do anything to stop them. There may also be a focus on the woman and her tension with the men on the ship. The leads are on the top half of the poster in colour and the bottom focuses on mysterious imagery, with what appears to be the chest, the ship and another group of people. They are stuck being the grimy-green colour, perhaps showing these all to be obstacles and opposition in getting the chest.
2) Action, adventure. The nature of pirates is very action-y and adventure-y
3) Adults, Young adults, teenagers. Pirates attract a wide range of audiences.
1) The name is a play on "pride and prejudice", connoting a similar or parodied plot in the movie. The man and woman are most likely romantically involved, possibly earning the ire of their families due to the divided framing of the poster. The man's side has skyscrapers in the back and the woman has the taj mahal, highlighting a difference in their family backgrounds and thus providing conflict for the movie.
2)Drama, romance, comedy. Due to the name and the position of the two leads of opposite gender faced back to back, it could be concluded that there is some sort of tension (romantic as well as dramatic) between the two that would lead the story. The quote at the top mentions romance and comedy as well. The nature of the name also would imply a dramatic story.
3)Perhaps for young adults, seeing as it appears to be a rom-com. This could also mean it's focused on young women.
1)The poster's dark and colourless appearance again connotes a dark and dramatic plot. The woman is seemingly the protagonist and is wearing a sports bra, so this may be a story about a sportswoman's rise to fame from a child to a million-dollar winning sportsperson. The men on the poster could have been the ones who raised her to become who she is, perhaps getting her involved with illegal or morally wrong situations along the way, which could also be the crux of the movie. She could be trying to reclaim an image for herself and separating herself from her dark past.
2)Action, drama. The use of black and white connotes a dramatic tone to the story, and the outfit of the woman shows she won't be a damsel and is capable of fighting. The general framing of the poster with the woman facing left and the men in the background show this to be a serious, dramatic story.
3)Adults, young adults, again with the serious and bleak tone of the poster.
