Analysing Films

While in lesson, we analysed some different posters - seeing how much detail we could pick out just from looking at the images. The two main posters that we looked at were Captain America + Inglorious Bastards. 
These were different but similar at the same time;

From just looking at the two images you can see that they both are in some kind of war. 
By looking at the Captain America Poster, you can see the ash in the sky behind him which shows that he is in battle. You can also see he is looking down towards something, which could be the other people - this makes him look quite powerful. He is also representing America as he is wearing the American colours and has a star on his uniform. The sheild he is holding is quite battered which shows he has fought a lot and is still survivng by himself. He could be quite lonely as his facial expressions dont show any signs of smugness or power, maybe lonliness and guilt. 
However on the Inglorious Bastards, the first thing that attracts you to the poster is the red in the background, this looks mostly like blood as it is smeared. It could also mean anger as red is quite a fiery colour which most people either associate with anger, love or death.  You can see that Brad Pitt is standing at the front of the three men, showing that he is in control while the two other men follow him, he could be their leader and they are his teammates. 
There is a man however, at the top of the poster which could be the enemy and a general as he is wearing a hat and is above everyone else. It looks as if it is set in WW2. They are all holding weapons which means they are in some kind of war with eachother.
Looking at both of the posters, you see that in Inglorious Bastards they are working in a team trying to deafeat the enemy and in Captain America, he is a one man army showing that he could be most powerful by himself.
