GOOD POSTER, USING A DARK BACKGROUND THEY HAVE MAXIMISED THE MAIN FOCUS ON THE CHARACTER WEARING A WHITE SUIT. ALSO USING BLACK AND WHITE CREATES A GANGSTER FEEL TO THE POSTER AS MANY CLASSICS SUCH AS; 'THE GODFATHER' USE BLACK AND WHITE SHOTS THROUGHOUT THE FILM. AMERICAN IS UNDERLINED WITH RED 'BLOOD' THIS IMPLIES THERE IS MURDER OR VIOLENCE INVOLVED.. BOLD PICTURES AND NOT A GREAT DEAL OF WRITTING ABOUT THE FILM IS IMPORTANT - IT DRAWS THE READERS EYES INTO FINDING OUT MORE..



COMPLETLY DIFFERENT POSTER WITH ROCK 'N' ROLLA - MAIN FOCUS IS ON THE BLACK SUITED CHARACTER AND THE GUN SITUATED OVER HIS SHOLDER. THIS IMPLICATES MORE 'GANGSTER' ACTON INVOLVED WITH THE FILM. HAVING MORE THAN ONE KEY ACTOR AS THE POSTER IS ALSO HELPFUL - IT INDICATES THE MAIN CHARACTERS AND THERE ROLES WHETHER IT MAY BE AN ANGRY FACE OR POLITE EXPRESSIONS - THE READERS ARE EXITED TO FIND OUT MORE. THE KEY LINE OF THIS POSTER IS 'A STORY OF SEX, THUGS, AND ROCK 'N ROLL' THEY HAVE USED 'SEX DRUGS AND ROCK 'N ROLL' BUT HAVE GIVEN IT A THUGGY-GANGSTER APPROACH.






PUBLIC ENEMIES IS OUR GROUPS KEY FILM IN RELATION TO WHAT WE WANT TO ACHIVE WITH OUR FILMING. THE POSTERS ARE SIMPLE BUT ENTHUSTIASTIC - A SIMPLE SHOT OF JONNY DEPP, DRAWS THE READERS EYES INTO HIS FACIAL EXPRESSION, GIVING OFF A SUSPENCE - AND KEY ENROLMENT INTO WHAT HAPPENS IN THE FILM. THE OTHER POSTER CREATES A DIFFERENT FEEL, THE SHOT WITH CHRISTIAN BALE AND A SUB-MACHINE GUN IMPLIES MURDER OR SIMULAR KINDS OF CRIME. ALTHOUGH THE FILM IS ABOUT JONNY DEPP AND HOW HE MANAGES TO ROB BANKS IN STYLE, BOTH POSTERS DONT GIVE THIS STORY AWAY. THIS BECOMES A TWIST TO THE FILM WATCHERS WHEN THEY SEE IT. WE MAY USE THIS KIND OF POSTER IDEA IN OUR COURSEWORK - AS IT ADDS TO THE TRAILER TWISTS.
