Film Poster Analysis

 Blade Runner - 

I think that it's an action/ sci-fi movie. This is because of the colour scheme, fonts and character facial expressions on the poster. The colours are dark and metallic, giving off a futuristic and modern look. The font is bold and geometric, also very modern and futuristic, ergo giving me the expression that the movie is apart of the sci-fi genre. The characters facial expressions are serious and stern, they also hold props: a gun and a cigarette. I assume it's an action since the gun is probably used in a fight with an antagonist. 

There's also a light shining from the mans face as he looks sternly into the distance with his gun (probably) loaded and cocked, as if he is ready to shoot at any moment. I assume he is the protagonist mainly because of the stern/determine look on his face and the light shining off of him. 

There is a woman below the man hidden in his shadow with a prop (cigarette) in her hand. She has a calm but serious demeanour so I assume that she is the antagonist, rivalling against the man. 

There are also metallic structures at the bottom of the poster that resemble a very modern and futuristic era of time, further aiding to my assumption of the genre being sci-fi. 

Also the slogan of the movie is "MAN HAS MADE IT'S MATCH... NOW IT HAS IT'S PROBLEM" so I'm guessing it's the classic story line of antagonist does something bad against humanity and the protagonist stops them and saves everyone and everything. 

I think the target audience can range from teenagers to middle age adults, it seems that it would be interesting to a range of people. 


Scary Movie 2 - 

I think that the movie is not a horror but in fact a comedy. It might share some characteristics of the horror genre like scary masks and characters but it overall has portrayed it in a comedic way. All the characters share an over exaggerated shocked/scared expression as they look forwards towards the camera (breaking the 4th wall?). A few of the characters wear shirts referencing horror movies with a slight comedic twist to it (I heart dead people/what lays beneath). 

Also at the top of the poster it has been quoted as "Absolutely hilarious". Horror movies aren't funny but comedies are. 

I think the target audience for this movie is children, young teenagers or something that would be put on when you want to watch a family film.

Mise-en-scene - CLAMPS (1 still image, 2 film scenes)

Image
 MISE-EN-SCENE FILM AND TV: (clamps) Attack on titan (still image)  C- The character is fully dressed in uniform, telling the audience that he was most likely expecting or prepared for a battle and ready to fight or perhaps that he was in the middle of a task/mission.  L- The lighting is coming from directing above the character and from the top of the screen, this could be symbolising the sun. It's shining right above the character, perhaps this could even symbolise him as a last hope or a beacon of hope.  A- The character is placed directly in the middle of the titans, a place where death and harm is most likely to linger. This builds up the enigma code of "will he survive?" and also the action code which builds up even more suspense and promises drama to the audience. There are also multiple titans beneath him, all with different expressions yet they all have a look of murderous hunger on their faces, they aim most likely to kill the human character.  M- Ther...

Mise-en-scene recreation essay (100 words)

Nosferatu:  A Symphony of Horror (1922) C: Thomas Hutter: Brown waist coat, black tailcoat, brown shirt, black cravat                    Nosferatu: Black trousers, black trench(?) coat, black cravat, black shirt.  I was not able to recreate the exact costumes in the movie since I don't think your even able to buy a tail coat or a cravat nowadays but I tried to replicate it to the best of my ability. For Thomas I used a stripped shirt as the waist coat and a dark orange shirt as the undershirt. For the cravat I used a black silk scarf. For Nosferatu I wore black trousers, a black jumper and a black jacket (not a trench coat since I didn't have one in black but a black bomber jacket). L- Door scene: bright lighting onto side of door, lighting also coming from outside of the door, shining into the room.  Thomas scene: lighting displayed on one side of his face whilst another (dimmer) light shines directly onto his face. A- Th...

More Film Poster Analysis

 UZAK: The film has muted and unsaturated colours, leading me to believe that it is about something serious. The skyline of the scene also reminds me of a war ridden society. There's smoke in the air from factories and the industrial looking buildings aid to my theory of that the movie is about something serious due to it's undertones. The character is also completely dark. The colour black usually symbolises mourning or death so maybe they are in  mourning. The film is also described as a "masterpiece" which means that it could be an art house film. The audience would most likely be someone who can understand and appreciate art house films, like someone who has a good education.  I'M NOT SCARED: The title is big and bold, making sure that it's the first thing that catches the audiences attention. The boy in the middle of the has a feared look, making his emotions contradict the title since he is clearly scared. He is peering down into the ditch with horror, p...
