Researching Film Posters

First of all in this film KIDULTHOOD, these teenagers are represented as stereotypical youths of the present London. The use of weapons in the film poster highlights the violence used in the film and shows shows that they are of no good. The whole layout of where they are is quite dark and gloomy to symbolize negativity of their personalities. The tag line "before adulthood comes..." could show that these are teenagers that will be up to no good. This is a VITAL stereotype.

Secondly in this film 17 AGAIN the teenager is presented to be quite flashy, probably rich because of the clothes he is wearing. This could possibly highlight that he could be a school rebel because of how his tie is placed, and the text is in bright red and black to symbolize danger. Lastly the whole facial expression he  has in his eyes is quite arrogant. The image is used to shows that the person could not care about his surroundings. The way clothes are under him could again show that he does not have regard for his surroundings.The whole tag line used "who says you re only young once" could back up my theory that he could be a rich, spoilt rebel.

In this film poster HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3 these teenagers a represented as quite successfull because of what they are wearing e.g. typical graduation outfits. The only image used on the film poster is the students jumping with joy, due to the fact that they have graduated. The comments that can be made is that the whole clothing they are wearing matches the text and the font that is used is quite striking and will catch a persons eye. There is no tag lines used.

Lastly in all the film posters, they are all different in a sense and that shows me that there are many stereotypes of teenagers. This for the creator will catch different target audiences eyes e.g : thugs, emos, goths etc.

This has highlighted to me that the way i present my final piece will be vital and i have to look into what types of teenagers this is reaching out to.
