iron man poster analysis

 

In this poster we see one side which is just the iron man costume. The other side includes other characters in a smaller image size. This suggests that it is iron man who is the main character and more important than the others and the one we all want to see. It also makes it clear that he is More powerful than the other characters as he over rules them. The lighting in the poster is very low key suggesting a very dramatic traumatic atmosphere. How ever there is the use of high key light on iron mans heart and eyes suggesting that he is pure and good as he shines bright from the heart. His eyes being in high key suggest truth as the eyes is a main express point for human as we show what we feel. Again the positioning of the other characters make a diagonal line to the titles this directly leads our eyes to the title and yet we have to look through the whole image before we are lead/attracted to the title. We also see the images of planes and explosions definitely suggesting some type of fight and war and that is what planes and explosions connote to this attracts viewers and suggests the film genre. Tony stark (Robert downey Jr. - iron man) is the first character we see besides iron man suggesting that he is the next most important it also suggests that he an iron man are fairly equal as they are the same height opposite each other but iron man is still more powerful. Even though tony stark is iron man in this poster iron man is presented as a completely different character suggesting that when tony stark is playing his role of iron man he becomes a different person who is more powerful and maybe more true of heart. The titles are presented in a gold metallic colour so we see that they are related to iron man as iron mans iconic colours are red and gold and he is made of metal. I think the colour gold also suggest that this is going to be a hit film because gold is often linked with treasure so they may be suggesting that this film is the best and is going to be classed as a public treasure maybe. With the titles being in the middle at the bottom i think this makes them look more confronting and suggests the confrontational intimidating feel.
