The background of

this film poser

contains of weapons
and creatures. The
fact that weapons are
known to be
associated with the
male gender and
teenagers are
stereotypically known
to enjoy violence and
being involved with
vicious situations.
This implies that the
target audience is the
male gender and
teenagers as they will
be able to relate with
the characters in the
film. The colour
scheme for the poster
is deep blue and
white colours. These
colours connote
strength and
intelligence, which is
typical for an Action
Adventure film. The
purple and red of the
title suggests power
and mystery. The fact

The two different types of teenagers shown could be related to Michael

Brakes (1985) theory. The teenagers in the centre of the poster each side
could be seen as delinquents as they appear to be serious and
irresponsible, due to their facial expressions being sneaky and careless.
However, the male teenager holding the weapon up could be considered as
well behaved and popular in the film. The fact that the poster consists of
both males and females suggests that the film isnt sexist and doesnt fit the
typical stereotype of only the male gender being involved with action and
Mise en scene is
used to present
teenage boys as
grown up and
desperate to be
involved with
violence and
tough situations.
For example, we
can clearly see
that Edmund
Pevensie has a
deadly weapon
in his hands,
with a serious,
aggressive facial
expression.
Therefore, we
can suggest that
teenagers are
eager to grow
up and appear
brave. The
showing of a
brave and
determined
facial expression
and confident
pose indicates
that he is a
teenager who
could be related
to Michael
Brakes (1985)
side of theory
which
represents
teenagers in a
positive way

The clothing of
each character
doesnt reveal
much and is
very covering.
This is an antistereotype as
teenagers are
usually
associated with
trying to appear
older and
desiring or
themselves to
look appealing
to the audience,
normally
resulting in

The poster contains of

standard poster
features such as:
picture, tagline, credit
block, enigma and
director and star
names. There are no
clear symbols used in
this poster. However,
the poster doesnt
contain a release date,
which is important for
the audience as they
need to be aware of

The five teenagers

involved in this film
poster are pulling serious
and distressed facial
expressions. These
expressions shows fear
and connotes that
something severe has
occurred for each
characters to show
discomfort and worry. All
characters facial
expressions also show a
brave element. This
indicates that the actors

The fact that the title

of the film is Narnia
conveys that the film
is mysterious and
doesnt give much
away. Therefore, the
target audience could
be teenagers as they
are stereotypically
known to keeping
everything to
themselves and not
telling people around
them much.

The message in
the poster is
mainly visual and
consists of no
verbal/offensive
messages.
