Film POSTER (analysis)

I chose to analyse this Spectre poster as Daniel Craig (shown in the poster) is such a well known actor and would be seen as a huge selling point. He is also a well respected actor and clearly has a huge fan base; and by him being the only character on this poster, it suggests that he is the main character in the film and therefore more people may want to watch it.

The image shown on here presents him as a powerful character; the clothing also suggests this, with the suit and bow tie giving him a secret agent type of look. His clothing makes him look professional, pursuing the look of possibly an undercover agent. The way he is standing and his body language is very serious, but professional. The mid-shot of him here, shows his whole body, allows us to identify the kind of character he is as well as his facial expression; the way he's looking directly at the camera creates a partial connection between himself and the viewers.

In his hand, it is noticeable that he is holding a gun and this is an iconic weapon as it is a partial genre indicator. With characters being in possession of guns, it suggests the idea that there may be alot of violence and fighting scenes; therefore indicating that the film is action-based.

The title of the film, 'Spectre' is in bold capitals, making it stand out to the audience; and also with out stating that it is a James Bond film, not only is it clear by the main character, but the '007' is a recognisable feature in the franchise. Primarily to James Bond fans, they would know it is a Bond film by seeing this. Again, the bold font used to present this stands out by being just below the title.

The text at the bottom of the page is much smaller and doesn't stand out as much as the title, for example. However this may be the aim of the poster, as it is not exactly important and it is not a feature that viewers would want to see on a poster; a poster being something that you display, by putting on your wall (or in a frame).
