Film Poster Analysis

For our film poster to resemble the theme of our movie and reach the target audience effectively, some of iconic time travel movies of the past would be taking influence such as,

Back to the Future:

Taking a look at the poster objectively, the use of orange and blue as the colours are prevalent therefore encapsulating the sense of adventure as the colours are quite vibrant and have a sense of power. Furthermore, the fire on the road and the light emanating from the car would bring a sense of drama to the poster and create a further sense of foreboding. The lightly faded car in amongst the fire may also indicate the significance of how its speed is unparalleled when compared to the road. As a result, the indication that the film centres around the importance of spped could therefore be given to a great extent.  

Groundhog Day:

The clock is a primary feature in this poster, the iconography of which is staged in the foreground as well as the lead protagonists in and amongst the film itself.
Using the title, "Groundhog Day" in bold red lettering would symbolise that the film is of great positivity as the juxtaposition against the clear blue sky would draw it away from opposing genres such as horror and thriller due to their bleak outlook in comparison.


Looper:

The colours in this poster symbolise a darker and more dramatic approach to what the narrative may be as they connote the theme of a storm using the highly saturated dark blue alongside the black. Furthermore, the clock is the primary foreground icon yet again which would demonstrate that the theme of time is an essential element to the overall plot.

The introduction of time is particularly prevalent amongst all three of these films using the clock as one of the primary foreground elements along with the characters. As a result, this method of art may also be used in our own poster to ensure that the theme of time is a significant attraction to the eye and presenting iconography as something that could be used to fit in with the typical conventions of how most other film posters are made to resemble the symbol of the main theme of the film.
