The last film poster I have chosen to look at is "Kick-Ass", when looking at this poster you can instantly tell what type of film it is. With the different montage of images that this poster has you can tell that it's an action/comedy film. The image as a whole is a bunch of superheros and mediates a strip from a comic book that it is based on. Each superhero is wearing a different colour costume which helps with the films narrative in terms of what the characters are about. In the centre of the poster is the superhero in green which could indicate that he is the less dangerous of them all as green has a strong emotional correspondence with safety. Beside him is a superhero dressed in a purple costume which tells the audience she is more ambitious and mysterious than the one in green. Above these two characters is another two superheros with one dressed in black and the other dressed in red. The one dressed in black could be seen as more evil and stronger than the others. The one in red can also be seen stronger and dangerous than the others. The title "Kick-Ass" is in a big, bold, yellow font behind the characters. The colour yellow is a good colour to use as it is very energetic which goes with the theme of the film. At the bottom of the poster it reads "In Theatres April 16" which means the film is coming out soon. This is also in a yellow font just below the billing block. The tagline for this film poster is "Shut Up. Kick-Ass." which is quite comedic as it is basically saying get on with it.
The actor's names have been placed at the top of the poster from left to right. They are all in a white font with their last names slightly bigger. The lead Aaron Johnson is not very well known with this film being his biggest one yet. The film does have a very well known actor in it though with Nicolas Cage playing one of the superheros. With him being in the film it will help with selling the film. The director's name is only mentioned in the billing block at the bottom of the poster which tells us he is not very well known. The information at the bottom yet again includes most of the people involved with the film. Underneath this is a website where fans can visit to gather further information about the film.
