Two Poster Analysis (Sherlock holmes and the Godfather)

Coulour: The colour that is being used in this poster is more monochromatic, as you see the centre a really light shade of blue, but it then extend out to a darker blue. This helps in getting the theme of the movie (crime) out better becausae of its gloomy look.

Shape: The shapes behing Sherlock Holmes himself, are more gerometic, becuase they are bulids of some sort.

Tone: The tone that is used in this poster is more light on dark. The dark being the human figure, against the backgroup.

Balance: The balance used in this poster is symmetrical. As you have a centre piece. then off to the sides the colours and shaps in the backgroup are basically even.

The poster doesnt seem to tell you anything, from its limited use of words, yet when you look and read. It says the relise date, a quote, the name, and the orignal writter of the book. the feel of the poster is more misty, as it has a a sort of fuzzy look to it.

The website itself is very impressive, as it has this same picture on the front right hand side. With the other main characters in small blocks behind it. The balance of the website works very well. As on the right hand side is the characters, and the left is the trailer, and how to purchase the movie. the colours on the website are very simular to the poster. you could actually say that both are made around each other.

the godfather is a very simple, yet effective poster. using classical colour, black, white and red. Its highlights the fact that is back in the olden days. and making a clear focal point. This being the Godfather himself. It kinda look like its cartoon, but it still makes you feel eerie.

The Website is alot like the poster itself also. a picture that looks as if its taken in the olden days is placed in the back ground behind the movie trailer itself. and with links to be able to buy the movie, it is a very simle website.
