Attack the block trailer analysis

There is an establishing shot of the tone and colour, in which are introuduced to the setting of the film a block of flats or estate, which is a mostly common setting featured in most grime,urban films. There is a grey tone within the camera shots which builds up suspense and gives the audience a new feeling of unease nd intensity.  The title in itself reads "the deadliest species in the galaxy ",the font and title has a futuristic and supernatural feel towards it, which indicates the film genre could be a thriller, which could involve aliens and extra-terrestrials.  There are a series of quick cuts of what seems to be an alien. This keeps the trailer suspensful and packed full of action; therefore leaving the audience wanting more and more.

adulthood inspiration



Our inspiration mostly came from the fact that we needed to have sometihng relating to modern day teenagers. So i decided and though of the famous british film Adulthood. I think by using the initial ideas we got from outside experiences and combining it with teenage experiences that we will come up with something that we can relate to.  Since Adulthood is a well known blockbuster for teenagers we decided it would be best if it was based on the harsh life on the streets. There seems to be alot of meaning in watching Adulthood such as the aftermath of a notorious dark past that the protagnist "Noel Clarke" had portrayed in the previous sequel Kidulthood.

Die hard Poster Analysis





The orginial poster, for the legendary Die hard starring well known actor Bruce Willis as with the first film, the action also takes place on Christimas Eve. The main character McClane is waiting for his wife to land at washington dulles international airport  when terrorists take over the air traffic control system. He must stop the terrorists before his wife's plane and several other incoming flights that are circling the airport run out of fuel and crashes. The poster is eye catching and appealing: just the main protagnist, John McClane looking towards the title heading in the poster. The taglines at the top of the poster connotates with blood and gory violence, also the release date is shown below the picture of willlis. The explosion behind Bruce Willis also connotes with neverending action or an introduction of another main villian and the tag line also creates an enigma which will draw people into watching the film.

running man



















The composition of Stephen King's novel combined science fiction and action film"The Running Man" which is portraying the urge of the main protagnist Ben Richards. It is quite clear he is searching for answers but, seems lost due to the composition of the poster which is being portrayed in the progtanist or it could also indicate running away from something or from himself for example the bigger frame of himself covering the new york buildings. Other things i have pointed in this poster is the Red bold italics which connote with danger or conflict and this justaxfies with the poster because they is alot of violence and full of menance expected in the timeframe of the main protagnist.

The composition of the bigger frame of the main protagnist looking down at the city reinforces the structure of the city which seems to be normal and civilised set in a futuristic timeline. It also gives an impression like in modern day america a global collapsing economy and america being a totalitarian policing state, but however the smaller frame of the protagnist shown below the poster shows a sense of freedom or he could be running out of time. It also portrays the convention of the thriller due to the smaller frame of the protagnist as opposed to the bigger frame showing his quick dominance only to come crashing down shown in the lower frame of the poster, and the combined circuit of the sci-fi action genre convention contains a protagnist, possibly a damsell in distress, and as always an antagonist. The shades of the colour black and white connotes with misery and despair as dark could be lifeless to the white shade underneath the smaller frame in the poster which signifies lovely connotations like love,hope or turning a new leaf.

The composition of the blood red film title. "The Running man", which is trying to emphaise the action part of the film. The colour red can also be associated with excitement,danger and gory violences, also possibly death. The bold italics combining with the blood font which is composed at a silently different angles, which could imply a series of violent battles that the protagnist will take on, which reinforces the convention of the futuristic sci-fi/action genre: alot of puzzles and unaswered mysteries. The bigger frame of the protagnist could  be shown as strong and mighty, while in the smaller frame looks weak and hopeless. This is done by composing Schwarzenegger and his smaller shadow together, making them seem in their own mindframe due to the distance of looking over the city to being a smaller frame .
