Key Concepts film poster analysis

 

INTERCEPTOR (2022)

LANGUAGE

The INTERCEPTOR film poster is immediately recognizable as a film poster because the actor names are placed on the right side of the poster along the bottom just above the film's title. The title 'INTERCEPTOR' is the largest text on the poster which clearly communicates to the audience that this is the title. The title is in bold black capitals to emphasizes the title which stands out against the murky blue background and the greenish blue colour scheme has connotations of the sea and the genre of military action due to the missiles hovering in the background. The central image is of a woman hanging over a deep fall over the ocean. The city in the bottom segment of the image could suggest life - emphasizing the danger and death of the missiles below. This image suggests the film has elements of action.
