Taken Poster Analysis

Taken Poster Analysis

This poster seems quite plain and simple which might not appeal to many viewers. It has the main character places in the centre of the poster who is played by Liam Neeson, a famous actor. By doing this and having his name and and picture right in the centre may attract his fans to watch the film. The colours that are used are very dull and would seem to appeal more towards boys as they have used black, greys and silver. They have also used a prop which is a gun that is also more aimed at towards boy and gives the impression of an action thriller genre. Also the lighting hitting his face forms a shadow so one half is dark and the other light. This could show is secret identity that he may have to lives or is maybe hiding something.
The title is placed in the centre with big bold writting with very basic font to try and attract the viewers attetion. In the top left hand side of the poster its got written 'They have taken his daughter, he will hunt them, he will find them, and he will kill them' The key words in this has been made to stand out in bold writting such as 'kill' whilst the other words are simple. This is to show the aspect within the thriller. Behind in the background centre are actions shots within some scenes to show the audience of what is happening and grab there attention so they question what is going on and want them to see more.
