Poster Analysis

This is the poster for the first Men In Black movie.The font is bold and large and modern-this is a conventional trait for an action movie poster and the black, tailored suits and expensive looking sunglasses reminiscent of the "James Bond" franchise gives the audience a glimpse of the tone of this movie- action packed and thrilling.The poster has a generally monochromatic colour scale emphasising the serious sides to the movie but the skin tone of the protagonist (played by Will Smith) is the colour that stands out the most which highlights how un-conventional it is in Hollywood to have an African-American lead protagonist and makes this movie poster stand out.                                                 LR                                                                                                                                   Language                                                                                                                          The word "black" has connotations of seriousness and the bold modern font shows the audience that this is an action movie.
