Movie Poster Example 1


This is the official poster for the film Transformers. The main focus of the poster is the image, depicting the antagonist Megatron and the three protagonists, Optimus Prime,  Sam Witwicky and Mikaela Banes. This is backed up with the slogan "Their war, our world". This is portrayed visually by the beams of light encasing the two humans, suggesting that they are trapping in a war that they shouldn't be involved in. This light also shows the divide between good and bad, the protagonist on one side, the antagonist on the other. Furthermore in the background of the picture one of the main locations on the film is shown, which is New York. The image also suggests that there is an emotional bond between two of the characters, enticing the audience to go see the film to see if they stay together. The font of the film title is created to look mechanical, sticking to the theme of giant fighting robots. The poster also sticks with basic conventions of film trailer posters, giving credit to the people and organisations which helped create the film.
