Research Excisting Product - Amelie Film Poster

- This Poster meets most movie poster conventions, with the name of the actors or stars at the top of the poster, the image also fits in with the genre and is the image is placed in the centre to attract the most attention, it will also be the first thing people notice when looking at poster before they read, so it has to be interesting. It then gives the name of the movie in bright colours that contrast against the others to draw your attention to the movie poster after you hve noticed the striking image. It also has a large billing block, whch is normal as it shows the people associated with the film.
- The centeral image helps to put across to the audience the genre or what type of film this is, in the case of Amelie film poster it gives off a very mystical edge, as the image has odviously been editted in someway to give the figure a odd colour, making her very pale with the red and black standing out, the colours used are almost solid block colours, which isn't natural, which could give conotations of how it isn't quiet a natralistic film. The background for the poster also gives an element of non-naturalistic, as the use of different shades of green and the stars, may remind people of witches and magic, from childhood images and storie, which fits perfectly with the films themes and how it the film is presented.
- The use of a close up shot of Audery Tautou helps to tell the audience that the film will be foucused on this interesting looking character, her expression also, is very mischeevies, but she is stil pretty and so this will draw peoples attetion. Also using just an image of Audery Tautou as the main character main interest an audience as she is a very famous french actor.
- the type of audience for this film, with a slightly twisted genre of romantic comedy, would be mainly women from teen to older adults, but it could also work for men as it's not your traditional romantic comedy, so with that in mind, the poster isn't overly femanie it dosen't make use of the traditional colours associated with females like pink, but with the use of the stars on the background of the poster which gives it a cute or mystical edge it may attract women. Also the actress used is very pretty and has been used as a model before and so some women may recognise her from that and become attracted to see the film. Becasue the film is foucused on a woman and her love journey women may want to see it, becuase in the film the female part is the one with all the control, unlike most romantic films, this is also reflected in the poster with the use of Audery Tautou being the centerala nd only image, give her control. Men be attracted to she this as the actress is very pretty and as it's not a normal romantic comedy it may be a better choice, over other films to watch.
