Movie Posters




I chose this poster because I think it really captures the feel of the movie and the character's strength. The colours contrast each other and the fire jumps out at you against the black. I think it's a strong poster that draws people in. Her being placed inside the Mockingjay makes it clear that she is the centre of the story.


























I chose this as the second poster example because I like how the shadows are used to great effect. Half of her face is blue and half is normal, and the shadows around her neck and hair convey a darkness growing in her. The colours are strong and the poster captures your attention as it's a close-up of her face which makes you contemplate how she could be feeling. The contrasting colours could also mean conflict in the character, which is always intriguing. Given that she is a fan favourite I think it was clever to use her in the marketing for the fourth season.








I chose this as my final example because it features all of the main characters and that combined with the scenery makes for an epic spectacle. The colours are very Lord of the Rings, with the greens, browns and greys. It looks fantasy and there is a lot happening in the poster, from Frodo and Sam's quest, to Aragorn rising up to the challenge as King. The mood is quite dark because of how serious the situation the story takes place in. The mood gets dark with every film as they get closer to Mordor. The way the characters are positioned is interesting; there's Frodo, Sam and Gollum in one corner with the eye of Sauron watching over them, and then we have Aragorn, Gandalf and the others in the top left-hand corner, Aragorn being bigger than the others. This is a good way of showing two of the most important characters in the trilogy.
