Film Poster Analysis – Romeo and JulietColour – The colours used give the poster a surreal atmosphere, the purples and the greys makes it look like a storm is coming at the edges of the poster which indicates something bad may occur. This is because we can see families re ready to fight with their weapons. On the other hand the oranges and the gold’s seem as if heavens are opening, for the young couple in the centre.
Main Image – The main image is of a young couple kissing with the surrounding families looking like they are ready to fight with each other. Regardless of how violent everything is around the couple, there is a shining heart on top of the page, showing how powerful their love is for one another.
Layout – The layout of the poster is well spread out. Even though it looks as if so much is going we can clearly see that there is young love in the centre of the battle between the violent families that stand either side of the couple. The metaphoric love heart above them and the heavily colour gold used stays at the centre of the poster. This could be done so that the violence does not take at the centre stage over the love of the couple.
Tagline – The tagline is small and is located at the top, which says ‘My only love sprung by my only hate’. This will help the viewer’s more to understand the hate between the families. This hatred has bought a young couple together, despite everything else. This tagline is very strong and powerful. It is good to have a tagline which is strong as it will get readers more interested.
Text Colour – The bright white is used for the title of the film contrasting against the other colours. It makes it easy to read and makes it stand out, over the couple. The tagline is in black with a yellow outlining colour under the shining heart. The small print is in dark orange at the bottom, so therefore it does not stand out as much. The date is also in white which will make it easier for the readers to see when the film is released.
Realism – I would say that there is not much realism in this photo. This is because everything has been edited as you can tell. The surreal colours and the families at each side have been colour edited.
Purpose- The purpose of this poster is to show both sides of love and hate of the families within the film.
Target Audience – The target audience for a film like this would of course be Shakespeare fans, and also lovers of romance, violence and drama, as it has got a mixture of these genres in.
Reaction – In my opinion I think that this poster is well edited which takes on surrealism successfully. The poster has everything that we need to know. The love is strong between the couple and the families are clearly very violent with one another.
Text font – The font looks very bold which will entice the viewer and will make it easy for them to read the names of the actors/actresses, the title and the tagline.
