Poster #1 | Poster #2 |
Compare- what is the same? Firstly,both posters only have one piece of text at the top,which is the title ‘the lion king’.There is no other text visible on any of the pages,making the poster/images themselves stand out more. Secondly,both posters have enlarged the image of simba,making it the dominant image.This is because Simba is the main character in the movie,and his size and placing indicates that he is the main character and the most important of the characters. Next,both posters have the same image of the baboon and other characters standing on the rock.This is when Rafiki holds up Simba for the other animals to see in the beginning of the movie. Lastly,both posters have a bright beam of light in the centre.This draws more attention to that spot,indicating that is important. | Contrast- what is different? Firstly,both posters have very different backgrounds.One is an orangey red sunset,while the other is a bright blue sky.The poster with the bright blue sky is more happy and calm,while the other poster represents more darkness and stress. Secondly,in the second poster,the monkey is holding simba up while in the first,he is standing alone.This is again,the beginning scene of the movie where he is held up for the others to see. Next,Mufasa isn’t in the second poster,while in the first he is faintly in the background.Mufasa is an important character in the series,but he is not featured in the second poster. Lastly,The main villain of the story is not in the first poster at all.I found this quite strange since he was a very important character in the movie.Maybe it was due to the fact the first one was more calm and bright. |
