8 Mile is a film that relates massively to my genre ‘Urban
Drama’. This is a poster that depicts many aspects of the genre of drama. The
main image is of the main character ‘Eminem’ who will definitely be a massive
selling point of the film. The image is a mid shot of Eminem which dominates
the whole of the poster indicating that he is the main focus. It shows Eminem
in sitting down position, with his head tilted downwards with no eye contact
with the camera, as he is writing lyrics on his hand. This shows emphasis not
only on the story line of the film but also the genre of the film giving it a
distinctive factor. The fact that he is writing rap songs on his hand again
highlights the poverty which pollutes the inner city areas making it difficult
for young people to follow their dreams, almost giving you an insight into the
film.
The colour scheme of this film poster relates significantly to the urban genre. The dark black, grey, and yellow shades allow for this urban drama feel, as it resembles the lifestyle he experienced within the beginning of the film. These dull colours of black and greys allow for the yellow/orange title and white taglines to standout.
The placing of this poster would be in magazines, bus stops and cinemas. This is reinforced as the image is the main focal point and these places are where the public will be able to grasp the full effects of the image such as the writing on the hand. Also, the poster credits displayed at the bottom, illustrate that it is one of the last posters displayed before the release of the film.
The Taglines will significantly influence the audience as it involves other A-list celebrity names like Kim Basinger, Brittany Murphy and Mekhi Phifer. This gives the audience a slight insight into the film, as it alerts them of the genre of the film just through what these actors specify in. This could also attract another audience that are fans of these actors which would be another selling point incorporated in the poster.
The target audience of this film would be predominantly aimed at males but can appeal to females depending on interests. The age group will be approximately 15-25 years old as this age group is more appealing to this generation.

A high level film analysis that really does show the development of your generic knowledge. A great film - have you seen it? Colour scheme will be very important to your own poster to bring across the dark themes of the genre so be certain to carry these ideas forward.
ReplyDeleteThanks Miss, was thinking of taking this colour scheme and using it in my magazine front cover instead? Because as i am doing a split screen for my poster to highlight the USP, this colour scheme wouldn't help to show the USP in as much depth..
