Mr Turner- Poster Research -Gemma

Media Language

• The Title ‘Mr Turner’ is placed at the centre of the page. The font suggests that this film is for an older target audience due to its mature font style and because the font is in a black colour. This allows the title to be the first aspect of the poster people will notice when they see it.
• The main image is centred although we cannot see the characters face on the film poster due to a paint smudge covering it although we do see his eyes. By being able to see his eyes we see that the main image is of a male character who is of an older age (possibly in his 60s).
• The main image stands out as the backdrop colour of the poster is white so any images and text on the poster stand out. The paint smudge is one of the main focuses on the poster due to its orange bright colour and this is the only colourful aspect of the poster.
• The rest of the font is either black or grey, the sources used to praise the film are in black in an italic type font which looks smart backing up the title style.

Representation.

• Due to the image, I can tell that the character is a male older character who is in at least their 60s
• The man looks to be a middle class/ high class man, this is demonstrated through his action and through his costume
• The man is painting so this would suggest the film is based around art.

Genre

• The film I would think is a drama piece and historical as in the poster the main characters costume shows a more outdated style.
