Poster Analysis

                                                           The Dark Knight:

                                              

The most eminent thing on the poster is the fire in the building in the shape of Batman’s emblem. This typifies danger and may also mean that perhaps the dark knight is Batman himself as he is standing right beneath it. The statement at the top illustrates unlawful crippling that has crept over the city and everything around is in the state of pandemonium. Batman’s gesture and the way the low angle shot has been taken show that he is the main character in the movie and is muscly and authoritative. The smoke at the back gives a sense of destruction and chaos. It can also symbolize confusion, caution, mystery, mask or cover. The list of actors playing in the film is pretty clear and bold and may help in attracting audience. The main title, with bold, white font stands out well in the poster with the trademark Batman’s sign behind it. The details of the production company and the establishments taking part in the film have been given at the very bottom with somehow opaque and indecipherable font. But the release date has been written with upper case letters and with color that is in contrast with the dark background making it very prominent.




                                                          The Shawnshak Redemption:
 

This movie cover shows a man who appears to be rejoicing freedom. His body action shows that he wants to enjoy every drop of rain that hits his body like he hasn’t felt rainfall in forever. Along with this, the baggy clothing gives the idea that the person has gone through very difficult and hard times. The bright light on his face illustrates a sense of warmth and relief in contrast with the dark back of the character’s body giving the idea about the situation that he has just got out from. The slogan at the top shows what the main theme of the movie is. It says how fear can break a person while it does nothing to the man with hope who happens to be in the same situation. The color scheme is mainly dark and the contrast between light and dark colors could explain good and evil. The title of the movie is written in uppercase letters with style and color that stands out well and sharp. The names of the two main characters in the film are written with comparatively smaller font with orange color, still being fairly prominent. The details of the movie’s crew can be found at the very bottom.
