Ancillary task research commences- Film poster textual analysis

Textual Analysis:

Fame-




- The poster is split up into 3 sections, presenting different aspects of fame, dance, singing and music.
- Clever use of lighting, dark shadows surrounding the characters emphasising the fact that they are lit up by spotlights, iconic of fame.
- Symetrical piece, 3 sections, 3 pieces of text "dream it, live it, earn it" similar typography to titles within trailer .
- Title of the film is central within the poster thus easily recogniseable/ well established for the audience.
- Date of release embedded in the bottom left hand corner, small text along with the film website and production company logos.
- Main colour is black, suggesting dark connotations surround fame and everything it is.
- Characters have been photographed as a MS body language showing intent focus on what they are doing. Their separation reinforces that everyone is for their own.
