How is the information structured? What would you say about the balance between image and text?The information is structured so it appears quite hard hitting, a page sized image with very few words on top shows that whoever is in that image must be of high importance in the film. With the Colin Firth poster its almost as if he’s reading out the poster to you with his eyes, his eyes being sharp and focussed on you as you read it, giving the impression that he’s there telling you what to do.
Taking both posters together, consider how elements such as colour, message, image and layout give the viewer a sense of the films subject matter, genre and style: The bold words and lack of them shows that it is getting straight to the point, it is hard hitting to the audience.
The fact that the font is in the style of the "keep calm and carry on" posters from world was 2 shows the importance that the poster must be trying to et across.
The images gets straight to the point of showing you that this film is serious, the lack of emotion and the concentration in the Colin Firth poster gives the impression that this film is pretty serious and you should respect it. This relates very much to the fact that the film is about the British King and it is a serious matter.
Explain the role of the films synopise, posters and trailer in the overall marketing campaign for the film:
They have made the film in a more formal way to fit in with the genre and the fact that the film is to do with the King, so everything is to be treated as if it is almost real.
The trailer shows a very formal side with the way people talk - upper class. The posters showing how concentrated the King must be
