Film poster and magazine cover research: Django Unchained

Django Unchained


This poster is different as it has a white background rather than a picture of a place. This poster only has the three main characters on with them in black and white, their costume and prop indicate how the film is not set in modern day. The poster does not reveal much about the film apart from the tagline at the top in black font which indicates the genre as it mentions a pursuit suggesting an action film. We like posters which have the tagline and we will have one on our poster. The titles are done down the middle of the main character which is different which makes it stand out to the audience. The font for the actors is in white whilst the release date, director and film name are in red which makes them stand out and attract attention. 



The magazine cover for Django Unchained is different to other covers as the other stories featured are only mentioned at the top and bottom of the cover with it only being one line, the picture takes over most of the cover which indicates to the audience that this is going to be a big film. The characters are standing in the same arrangement as the poster which shows who are the main three characters and who is the main one overall. The font is in white and stands out against the picture, it has a different tagline to the poster which appeals the cover to the audience. We would consider doing our poster this way if we could take a picture effective enough to cover the whole page.
