P.S I LOVE YOU-FILM POSTER
The red font shows the romantic genre in the trailer. Also because the font is curly and not bold or big, it gives a gentle emotional impressions
of the trailer.
The plain white background could
symbolise the idea of heaven, because
Gerry dies in the film. The white could also show how careless
they both look in this picture.
The man looking down onto the woman shows that these are
they two main characters in the film and that despite the fact that Gerry dies, this picture makes
them look in love and that he is looking
over her.
Because Holly is not directly looking at Gerry, it shows that they have been separated and that she knows he is there in
her thoughts, but not in person. She is shown smiling
because she knows he is always still there. Her position of laying down could show how
she is dreaming.
CHARLIE ST CLOUD- FILM POSTERThe tagline on this poster
speaks to the audience and makes them curious of why
maybe Charlie is not living his life.
The poster shows a mix and contrast of Charlie (top) and him with his
brother Sam (bottom) to maybe show the problem
that Charlie has in the film, between picking to move on with his life, or
choosing to practice baseball with Sams’ ghost
everyday.
Because this poster only shows the male characters, it doesn’t
show iconography that this film is a romance, but does use the
setting of the lake with boats and trees to give the impression that
the film is emotional and problematic.
Charlie is shown on the poster as looking up as it could symbolise him
looking up to his brother who passes away in the film.
The brown and black font have been used to stand out from
the white/blue background and the front goes from bold to
thin, could show Charlie’s life changing after his brothers
death.
Harry Potter- Magazine coverThe headline of the magazine is slightly hidden by the main
image, but because the magazine is so widely known, it
is able to be understood and read without reading the middle part of the word
‘Entertainment’.
The cover also shows what will be inside the magazine that
links with Harry Potter. It shows ‘Exclusive photos!’, ‘The
ultimate Harry Potter pop quiz!” and a ‘Special preview inside!’. This persuades the audience to
buy the magazine.
These are other stories that will feature in the magazine. Although the main attraction to this cover is all about the Harry Potter film, it
still shows the audience that there are other stories about actors and
other film features inside.
This is main story on the cover and it links with the image of Harry Potter. The house colour of blue black
and red separate the stories up so it is easy to tell the
titles from the story information.
The main image of Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) is
presenting him directly looking into the eyes of the camera. His posture of twisting to the right and pointing his wand
shows direct communication to the audience.
Because Harry Potter is so well known, it doesn’t need to have Harry on the cover for the audience to know which film it is featuring.
Twilight movie- Magazine coverThe blue bold magazine title
stretches across the top of the cover so it makes it clear which magazine this film is associated
with. ‘The Entertainment’s magazine company title is blue and
bold which could represent the interesting and big films that features in their magazine.
The issue date and barcode identifies it as a
magazine cover.
The main image of the two ‘vampire boys’ are
recognisable worldwide as starring as main characters in
the Twilight films. Because they are so popular, the main
image of them on the front cover could automatically
persuade the audience (mainly girls) to buy the
magazine. The small text on the right hand side in story information that is inside the magazine. They have made it smaller compared to the rest of the
text because the main film is Twilight.
The house colour of this magazine is white, yellow and blue. These
colours don’t show the genre as a romantic movie (which Twilight
could be considered as) but represents it as mixed gender film
with action but also happiness.
Although the magazine cover has the film title on it, most people worldwide would be able to identify this film as ‘Twilight’ due to the picture featuring Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner.
