21 Jump street poster analysis

Tag line at the top, so using the z reading that is one of the first things that you see. then it goes down to the characters.it makes them link so well as they are dressed formally and behind them the banner actually says 'Senior Prom'. looking at the two characters you can straight away sense that they are definatley not at their prom as their time must have been along time ago due to the fact they are holding weapons. the word cover in the tagline suggest that they are police undercover investigating some suspicious activity going on at a high school.where they are stood shows they are the centre of attention as they are between the two pillars with flowers and surrounded by balloons they could be standing somewhere a member of staff would announce something. so this is the part where they get their cover blown.we knows the setting of this scene as the banner behind them clearly says senior prom. we can muster up the basic storyline which is two cops have gone undercover at a high school and now they are close to having their cover blown.
you can see they have tried really hard to make them the center of attention here as they have also outlined them with silver stars behind them almost giving them a spotlight.Main colour theme here is Blue,White and black.the blue is used mainly in the background and the main characters are dressed in white with blue and a dark silver surrounding which is the curtains,balloons and smoke as it makes them stand out more, creates a spotlight for them.The characters are giving direct mode of address to the audience.

what would draw in audiences is the fact that these two high school boys are wielding guns like professionals so there must be something more going on here, rather than a normal high school prom. As this is a remake of the TV show 21 jump street the name is large and clear and in the colours red and white. I think red has been used here as it is not used on any other part of the poster except the release date, it separates them from everything else. makes it easier for the audience to remember that as they have been singled out using colour. The title will draw in more audiences that are familiar with this name and show.
