Film poster analysis - Star trek

The poster for this sci fi film is star trek the poster shows the three main characters these are played by james t kirk who is seen in the middle of the poster the positioning of his character shows that he is the lead character,this character's name is chris payne. the other male character that is shown on the right in this poster is spock normally in the star trek he is the lead character but this new remake of the film he is shown as not the lead character, this character's name is zachary quinto. The woman that is seen on the left is uhura one of the main characters seen in the film. Below the characters we see the old enterprise ship that is an iconic piece in the star trek films, this is a good unique selling point as so many fans of this very successful film love.

The use of having such original uses in this new remake is a very uniques selling point as the fans of this original film loved all the aspects of it. using some of these such as the ship and one of the old spock makes the fans relate and feel more engaged to the poster.

the bold title is place at the lower area of the poster the name of the film star trek is scene in big bold letters all in caps and the other part of the name is in smaller letters. the title is all seen in capital letters this is an effective choice for film posters as it makes it stand out more to the audience that it is targeted at. the colour of the title is white which is opposite to the background colour as it allows for the writing to stand out more this colour is used for all the writing on the poster. the effect of have just star trek in the biggest font is very effective as the fans of this genre will be drawn in by the main name of this film, due to the eye catching and bold effect that it gives. The lighting that is used  in the background is of a darker tone.

There is no main actors advertised on the poster as there is such a big following and fan club for this film as just the name of the film advertised is good enough advertisement for the film. the camera angle of the three characters is a medium shot which has angle to it this is effective as it is not clear who has the higher status or who would have prevalence in the film this sees them as all being equal to each other.

The use of the enterprise in the background and the man on a motorbike in the foreground is used very effectively as it shows to the audince that the film has a lot of good action in it. this is also a clear genre indicator to the target audince and draws them into the film and left wanting to see it just through the poster as its left them with unanswered questions.
