Film poster analysis

Harrison Ford: Blade Runner

This film poster communicates a futuristic look due the lighting. A lighting portrayed is underlighting which makes the poster appear more realistic. The lighting comes from under the actor and gives it a distorted effect. Another point would be the setting on the poster which portrays futurism. The constructions are too modern for this society which adds that science-fiction affect. The actors demonstrate a dull and confident facial expression which could portray the sinister atmosphere of the future. This is backed up by the lighting making the actors seem glamorous which adds that dominance. This film is aimed at the younger generation.

Scary Movie 2
The variety of facial expressions shows the comedic genre of this film which contrasts from the title. The lack of shadow also adds that glamorous affect and the lack of shadow is done by the filler light which softens it. This also means that it is more comedic than horror due to the lack of underlighting giving it a sinister feel. In fact the Top lighting had accentuated the characters which makes it difficult is identify the horror side of the film. Also the costume is evidence for a comedic film due the phrase '' I love dead people '' backed up by her posture and here facial expression contradicts itself.

UZAK
This poster portrays mystery due to the lack of identity of the actor. This long shot sets the mood of the character as it seems very slow paced. This is backed up by the dullness of the costume being mainly the colour black. There is mostly motivated lighting being all natural showing no futurism or comedic sides.

IM NOT SCARED
This poster is very effective in drawing the audience as we are in the setting 'being looked at'. The audience may feel vulnerable as we are approached from above. There is motivated back-lighting from the sky showing a half silhouette. this also adds that lack of dominance as we are helpless. The facial expression from the boy is very menacing.

Sin City
This poster mainly shows underlighting which adds that science fiction scenery. The scenery is very dark added that negative feel which is backed up by the prop being a 'futuristic gun'.

Pirates of the Caribbean

Bridge & Prejudice
This scene is very colourful showing happiness and love which is opposite to the dark and sinister feel. The facial expressions portrayed by the character reveals a humorous side of the movie. This film is family based. The scenery is modern due to the sky scrapers in the background. The lighting makes the characters stand out which portrays happiness and positivity

Million Dollar Baby
There has been a silhouette created due to the character showing her back to the audience. The medium close-up shot is predominantly in the shadow which adds mystery and curiosity of the characters actions.

Mr Halseys comment: some great shots and narrative is effective in engaging audience POV of the kick was excellent In other places, you lost focus (e.g. over the shoulder shot) In terms of narrative, needing to use text (2 hours later) is usually one to be avoided but nevertheless an effective response No titles/shot descriptions Feedback from fellow students: WWW: Good/interesting narrative range of shots music went well good acting  good camera work captivating storyline very well plotted EBI: Add in the names of the camera shots Try and get cleaner shots Show different shots I believe I portrayed an interesting storyline where the range of shots with the rapid movements of each shot allowed the audience to feel on edge and more interested in the narrative. Also the music allowed this to happen as it gave that dramatic effect. The camera work was also good by Samie Miah as there were no shaking allowing people to be more focused on the narrative rathe...

statement of intent learners response

Vaagesan Mark: 5 Grade: C Comments on Statement of Intent: ·          There is a lot of impressive content here – you’ve clearly thought about your concept in detail, the title and tagline are excellent and you use some media terminology and theory. However, I’m worried this doesn’t meet the brief. I know you address this in the statement but I just don’t think a pre-watershed show aimed at a family audience would have this narrative. One to think about and reflect on seriously. ·          In terms of word count, I think you have too much narrative description and not enough of the other aspects of the statement of intent. ·          You need a lot more media terminology in terms of the technical construction of your trailer – camera shots, sound, mise-en-scene, editing. Due to the word limit you won’t be able to include too much but choose a coup...

It then cuts to a dolly shot of cars with music which therefore gains the interest of the audience. Different match on action shots which also adds realism. The adding of slow motion is appealing which therefore catches the eyes of the audience. There is a lot of tilt and panning shots at the start showing a still position which allows the audience to distinguish the setting rather than the camera moving around. The characters are all present in one room and is easily identifiable my the emotion and increased roles. The narrative is also under stable from their body movements, emotion and the props being a lot of money which may imply illegal mo...
