This poster shows the lead actor Nicolas Cage, he plays arms dealer Yuri Orlov in the film, his role is represented by having his likeness composed entirely from bullets and bullet cases. His solemn expression shows you that this is not an upbeat film which links into the violence and sadness commonly associated with firearms and war. The tagline 'Where there's a will, there's a weapon.' is a play on words and shows the films black comedy elements and Yuri's attitude towards arms. The Billing block information is arranged around the edges of the poster to create an unobtrusive border which draws attention towards the center, the infomation includes a link to a website which has more infomation on the film.
Cloverfield
This poster does not reveal a lot about the story and lures the audience in by teasing them with the very unusual evidence left in the picture. The viewer will wonder what could have caused such damage to the area and this will make them want to watch the film to find out, the only possible clue is the claw like scrapes on the statue of liberty's back which will lead the audience to believe that a monster could be the antagonist.. There is very little infomation on the poster, no names or taglines that could offer an insight to the story which makes it even more mysterious. The imagery of the smoke clogged manhattan skyline is one which will draw even more viewers in due to it's resemblence to the terrorist attacks on the 11th of september.
