Analysis of Film Poster .. Iron Man 3 (2013)

This is a interesting film poster as the colour scheme used doesn't match that used in the first two films is this to signify the end ? it is obvious from just glancing at the two posters below that the colours used are very much similar using dark blues and black ; however 'Iron Man 3' (2013) uses oranges and whites which could be used as a extended metaphor for the sense of redemption throughout the film in contrast to the first two films.
                                       

However that aside the poster does follow suit of its predecessors as it does have all the 'Hollywood' faces on show to the audience in order to catch the audiences attention and feature one of films main 'selling points' ; however again differing from the first two posters it doesn't feature the actual 'face of iron man  something which would have been wanted by comic book fans 

Analysis of the teaser trailer 'Django Unchained'



I recently watched the trailer of 'Django Unchained' a Quentin Tarantino film , I was pleasantly suprised it displayed everthing a convential teaser trailer needs , gave a brief outline of the story without giving too much away and spoiling it for the target demographic , its fast cuts between scenes coupled with the building up of music signalled towards to an oncoming cresendo and was successful in creating a sense of anarchy and choas , very effective in drawing the audience deeper into the story.

The colour scheme the film uses is mainly deep reds , blacks and whites ; used directly in reference to the blood , sweat and tears ; Quentin Tarantino films are notoriously filled with blood , explosions and gory scenes ; however it could be said they are also used as extended metaphors for the rage ; anarchy or anguish the teaser trailer displays.

The teaser trailer is defintely one which I would recommend any media student to watch as it clearly outlines what a good example of a teaser trailer is although it is a 'hollywood blockbuster' it is something which could be used as a benchmark for me to work towards.

Shooting Schedule

This above is our shooting schedule which as a group we need to pay close attention to and make sure is followed to closest detail to ensure everything is done correctly and to good standard .

Actors Contract

This above is our actors contract something which necessary withing thin the media industry and makes sure actors know what it is exactly they are going to be doing and to ensure they fully understand everything.

Product Research ... How does it effect us ?

The information we gained from the analysis of films similar to that of ours or within the same genre has become valuable to us ; it showed us as a group what we have to work towards and highlighted features which we felt were vital to have , conventions within our type of film teaser trailer such as that of fast paced cuts and the fact that majority of teaser trailers don't actually follow a narrative ; Narrative is something which we followed closely in AS because it necessary when creating a 'opening sequence' ,  however A2 doesn't require this.

We did take inspiration from some films although they may have not been in the same genre as ours such as maybe using the scene in which there is use of a car boot 'Pulp Fiction' (1994) as we felt as if this would be effective to use at the end of the trailer as it would create a sense suspense.

 

Overall I believe product research was beneficial to us as it allowed us to to see what exactly as a group we wanted the teaser trailer to have within it , effectively allowing us to add the 'final touches' 'glossy' to our teaser trailer.

Analysis of Film Poster - 'Lucky Number Slevin' (2006)

This film poster uses a red and black background colour very much a convention of its particular genre ; it has themes of revenge throughout the film and this is maybe suggested in the poster , as the shadows which are present over the characters could be an extended metaphor of revenge or could be reflective of the mystery of each of the characters themselves.

It is apparent from the film poster that violence is going to play a big role in the film itself , the use of props such as guns and weapons is effective in conveying a sense of chaos and danger.

Although this film isn't necessarily similar to ours it is easy to see how we could gain and take inspiration from it , as a direct result of this film poster we have now begun to think as a group that we may include props such as that of guns to imply anarchy and bedlam.
