TED the Movie
The film poster: Ted, The main image cover must of the film poster, it show two characters, one human and one bear urinating in a public toilet, the human on the left is giving us a relief like posture which could connote that this comedy. The main image is a long shot of both characters, showing both characters body and their feature; this could connote that how different both characters are between each other. It giving us representation that it connotes a fantasy film as it is shown a live bear doing human activity. One human like icons is the bear urinating and holding a beer bottle at the same time, which could connote that the bear could be drunk, or hangover and need to do at the same time (drinking and urinating).They way how both characters are doing the same thing (urinating) at the same time, could connote that there is a sight sign of bromance, love and friendship
The film poster is very interesting because the male on the left is in a urinating position and would put some the audience off. (Mostly Girl because women wouldn’t like that type of pose, it private mate. Some males would find it funny because they can relate with type of action.) But women can narrate with soft smooth bears, when normally given to as a present or a gift. However, see a bear urinating can change people ideas and can make both gender laugh.
The background of the main image has very dull colours, this could connote that movie is not very sociable to watch and might be boring to the audience. Or it can connote the toilet are a dull place to be for a character but also be funny or entertaining for the audience. The setting of the main image is set in the male toilet; we can see that by the male urinate on the wall in the image. This suggest that it normality and causal.

The masthead at the top of the film poster is in green to stand out and attract the audience. At the topit has a Tagline it says from the creator of ‘Family Guy’. Family Guy’s fan base and the views of family guy would be very appealed because family guy is a fantasy comedy with a normal family, talking dog and a lot of stereotype, which could connote that TED and Family Guy have familiar aspects. This show how both movie and TV shows are associated and linked together. The green lettering behind the white background determines the normality and nature of the film.
The way how they have the actors name above the main title, which could connote how important the actors are in the media industry. If the names are at the top, all the actors can bring a fan base which can bring in a bigger audience.
TED is a Hollywood movie; one of the reasons is the institution of the movie Universal Studios are a huge media company and the actor’s names are very famous and bring a big fan base and audience.
WWW: Good attempt to consider both audience and institutional factors.
ReplyDeleteEBI: Write an additional section where you focus on the genre conventions being used, and the narrative roles of the characters depicted.
Moreover, the male character on the left hand side has his hand on the wall and looking up towards the ceiling which he looks relaxed and calm which it could connote that it might be a comedy due to the of the male characters position and pose. The bear character in the film poster is represented in the film poster as a real human being between the ages of 26-33 years old, who is in the c2 d demography, also as a drinker and social character.
ReplyDeleteIn the main image it look like the setting is in a family place because the bear is at a small urinate mostly likely for children and kids, this could connote that is a comedy film for the family.
