The tagline 'Whos up for a close encounter?' this is inviting people who are interested in Aliens and Sci fi movies to come and watch this movie.To get a real feel of what the outer space species are like.Enticing them to come and watch the movie. A close encounter is an event in which a person witnesses an unidentified flying object. This links with the movie as it is about an Alien, people familiar with Aliens ad UFO'S are likely to understand the wording as 'close encounter' is speacially used for things like that.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind is a 1977 science fiction-drama written and directed by Steven Spielberg ''After an encounter with UFOs, a line worker feels undeniably drawn to an isolated area in the wilderness where something spectacular is about to happen.''
The spotlight colour surrounding them is not yellow or white as that is the colour a helicopter would have as a searchlight,the colour purple creates more of a mystery and supports the idea of this being a close encounter with a UFO. Purple is not a colour that a helicopter searchlight would be.The unusual purple spotlight also highlights the main characters.Purple unusual spotlight shows it is coming from the sky as characters are looking upwards towards something in the sky,the two human characters are in shock and confused,Paul is smiling the tagline ties in with Paul being 'the close encounter' as he is smiling at the thing above them it shows he is familiar with it.So it must be one of his kind.
Paul is present again from the teaser poster,creates synergy.Same character and clothes.People almost recongise the poster as two new characters are present.Only crazy fans of Nick frost and Simon pegg would recongise the movie.Hard for new audiences.New layout,Black whereas teaser poster is bright yellow.Pauls casual outfit reassures audiences that this movie would be a comedy as what Alien would wear casual clothes and stand so close comfortably next to two adult humans.We pick up a bit of comedy from the fact that Paul is holding a milkshake or a drink that you can purchase from shops like Mcdonalds, this shows he has an adventure and gets around during the time hes here.
This is a movie for Teens over 16 and young adults,mostly male as the two main characters are dressed as young adults who have just finished their education and probably live together.They look like 'nerds' and 'gamers' this can be picked up from the shirts and the samurai sword on one of their backs.Who would carry a samurai sword around unless they are a crazed fan of the object.
The main movie title is written in a different font compared to the teaser poster when most movie posters keep the writing the same on all posters.This font is quite unique as it also consists of a little Alien head on the A.The title and actor names are in white and similar font.The line below the title which is in orange is what will help people recongise the movie, and help Simon pegg and Nick frost fans to identitfy this as another one of their comedy movies.
The producer companies are very little,barely visible but one is on the left and the other is on the right.It will be released on valentines day a memorable date, a little bit of relevance to the date of valentines day as there is some romance in there but not as much that would make it suitable to be relased on valentines day.It would have had a hard time competeing with more romantic movies released that day.
Interesting commentary...
