Poster Analysis

As part of our brief we were given the task to create a film poster to go with our film, in order to make sure our posters are effective and good quality I am going to look at a few posters so I have more of an idea as to what I need to create.

The poster I have chosen to look at is one of The Lord of the Ring posters, the film is based on the books by JRR Tolken. The poster is quite dark colours, yet focuses on the main characters faces, yet below the faces you see characters on horses with swords this signifies action straight away. The font of the title is similar to times new roman which again signifies time. There is text at the bottom which contains information on the editor and important information on the titles, also in the centre at the bottom it says December 19 yet it does not say where it is distributed.
