Hunger games poster deconstruction

Image 
  • Large image of character
  • Focus on Katniss who is one of the protagonists in the film
  • Half her face is cast in shadow whilst the other is lit
  • Her eyes are looking forward and seem as though she is looking at the viewer
  • Katniss is drawing back and arrow which puts across the fighting action of the film
  • The colour scheme is red, orange, yellow and browns - reflective of fire that recurs as a constant theme in the film
  • Title of film does not dominant the poster and over take the image
  • Mocking jay is included as has become the recognisable symbol of the franchise
  • There are no actors, directors or production names included 
Tagline
  • 'The world will be watching' - hints towards themes in the film
  • Ideas of obsession with watching, surveillance  
Genre
  • Conveys genre of adventure and action with the bow and arrow and fire 
Typography
  • Golden text 
  • Block capitals - bold against background 
  • Tagline justified to span across poster
  • tagline is in white which helps it contrast and stand out against the background of the poster
Golden rule/ Positioning of elements
  • Image is main central focus of the poster - eye is immediately drawn to image which is recognisable 
  • Viewer's eyes are drawn to met the female character's stare
  • Title doesn't dominant poster
