Film poster analysis 3

Sin City

The emblem from the film poster suggests the protagonist is the male in the middle of group. The facial expression of the main character is firm and emotionless which implies he knows what he's doing and is very familiar but it has to some extent imply his arrogance. The woman next to him is not as covered and mysterious as the potential protagonist but is more revealing and seductive. This could be clear giveaway to the trend femme fatale to appeal to the male audiences but to also subvert the usual 'damsel in distress' we see in action and thriller films. The eerie setting of the pouring rain and dark colours could imply the danger and unknown that awaits the team or potential enemies. The story line probably be about those five main characters or stock characters coming together to fight of the dark figure just below the waist of the protagonist.

The genre's that this film would probably be boxed in would the classic neo-noir and or action genre.

The target audience would be cult film fans of the genre and young men interested in action. These film provides escapism for their following as young men would interested but the female perspective would be the manipulative but in a way a strong female presence.


Pirates of the Caribbean 

The iconography from the poster presents the three main characters two males and a female. this represent that they might be a love triangle in the film which would be resolved through the film or the franchise. The female character on the poster has a facial expression of dismay but he other males have a firm and stunted look this could connote that something is worrying her but the potential protagonists are ready to save her. The placing of the characters are intentional because the main three characters are on top which could enforce the idea that they are the heroes. whereas, the antagonist is placed on the bottom half of the poster to symbolise the danger that lies below the sea.This placing can be clearly as the title of this movie is called 'Dead man's chest' which could have emphasise on hell or heaven. The story line might be about these three characters trying to defeat the monster on the left side of the poster to find the missing chest to save the sea but throughout the film there'll be complications due to the relationship the two men are trying to pursue towards the female charterer.

The genre's of the film would be boxed in action/romance or fantasy.This is because of the iconography on the film poster.

The target audience for this film would be young teens who are into the fantasy genre with a hint of romance between the the characters. However, the demographic can be targeted towards women who have the problem to two men chasing or being attracted  to her or how to deal with it.
