TRANSCRIPT

Page 1: Conventions of Film Posters

The American flag and the solider suggest to us that it follows the story of a typical American solider

The plain background makes the main actor and the American flag stand

The simple writing contrasts to the dark sad theme to the poster

The actors are USP

The slogan is telling us that the film is based on a true story

The main actor is not facing the camera which is telling us there might be a mystery about him

Page 2: Conventions of Film Posters

The two main characters are in the poster

They are looking very serious which contrast with the film being a comedy

The actors are USPs they are mainly in comedies

Holding guns up showing it’s an action film

Social media

The slogan tells us that they are a year older

Plain white background makes the main characters stand out

Kids like lego so they are going to watch the film

The tag line tells us the main character is a normal everyday person

The Main character is running away from something. Looks scared

The realise date

The characters are running away from an explosion this could tell us that’s the thing they are trying to prevent

The bright colours indicate that it’s a fun and full of life film

The contrast of the bright blue sky down to the orange explosion to the black floor makes the main character stand out

The main character is wearing a orange suit this is always associated with labouring jobs

There is a alterative marketing for the poster, it promotes lego toy its self

It mimics an action poster cliché this is shown by the use of explosions and fire and the super hero

The main actor’s sidekicks are next to him
