I chose to analyse this poster as it is such a popular film and was extremely successful; as well as the characters being so well known. The main feature of this is the overlap of pictures. This stands out as, obviously, they are two different pictures however have been edited and overlapped so well that the two merge together into one. This is also significant as it shows the two 2 main focuses in the film, the first being the titanic (the ship) and the second being the couple; Jack and Rose (Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet).
The title is near the bottom of the page so that the images are the main focus. This tends to be the case on many posters as they are not bought for the text, they are bought for the image and also the title of the film. The title is the biggest piece of text on poster, showing how it is the most important bit of information. The bold silver writing of the title stands out in front of the blue waves.
Other text on the poster includes the name of the lead actor and actress. This is significant as fans of these actors will know that they are the main characters of the film and would therefore be more likely to watch it.
The genre of the film is evident from seeing the picture of the couple and also the small caption below the title saying "Nothing on earth could come between them", suggesting how the film is based around their relationship; and a relationship being the main focus in the romance genre. Also as well as this the titanic and the rough looking sea suggests something dramatic may happen and therefore establishes the drama genre.
