Film posters

More than a Game - The colour scheme of the poster is very simplistic and the majority is in black and white with only the name of the film and basketball kit of the main player, LeBron James in a dark gold colour making him stand out and portraying him as the main character and drawing the audiences eye to him. Also gold has connotations of success and power. Which highlights him as the best and successful, moreover even though you cannot see his face, you can recognize him from his number on his jersey, which if you have a basic knowledge of the NBA then you would recognize. The background is an off white colour with stains on it to make it look urban like a dirty wall, which relates to where they have come from, which is portrayed in the film, as the film is about there rise to fame from an unknown little town and there practicing in a small salvation army gym. I believe that this poster has been made by photographing each player then cutting them out and placing them in there positions, which forms the shape and line someone would take if they performed a slam dunk and if you photographed them at 5 stages of this dunk, and looked at there positions. behind the players there is this messy black line scribble curving behind them, it adds the effect of movement to the images and looks very urban again so works well against the background. its starts off thinly near the back and gets a lot thicker as it reaches the right side of the poster behind the main player. there are also tag lines that relate to the film in a light grey which is barley visible, saying ‘MORE THAN A TEAM’ and ‘MORE THAN A COACH’ in the same font as the film title. if someone who has no knowledge of this film or any basketball players was to look at this poster there is not much to let them know what the film is about, all they could conclude is that it is a film about basketball, and maybe that it is about this particular team and that it is focused on there coach.
