Film Poster analysis - The Bucket List

The Bucket List

I have chosen to look at the film: The Bucket List because of the narrative similarities with our film. The purpose of a film poster is to draw in as big of an audience as possible so a film can make as much profit as possible. Posters have to have eye catching: Typography, people and/or exciting backgrounds.




The text on the poster is: Non italic, Non bold and serif writing. This all makes the text easy to read but it doesn't make the writing stand out or particularly eye catching. The purpose of serif text is so that it makes each letter more individual so that it stands out and makes it easier to read. It also makes blocks of text easier to read. So the serif title can be relating to a bucket list(which contains blocks of text).





The poster uses the two main characters in the film as a USP. Both stars are smiling and are scene as happy. This gives off a happy feeling towards the narrative of the film. The characters are seen laughing which makes the film seem less serious and more of a comedy.







The pictures along the bottom of the film show scenes in the film. It shows the exotic places the film is set in. It also shows some of the things the two characters get up to in the film. The colours used in the poster are bright and vibrant. This also sets the mood of the film to be happy and also eliminates the possible genres the film could be mainly Horror and Gore.
