The film poster for the 414s is a dark poster with bold lighter font displaying the titles and actors names etc. the actors names are displayed on the bottom of the poster, the fact the actors names are noticeably smaller than most of the other font sizes on the poster tells the audience that the actors are not very well known. above the title is a sun dance film awards sticker showing it has made its way to winning a sun dance award, this tells the audience that although the actors are not very well known the actual short film must be very good as it has won awards. the main chunk of text 'The 414's' is placed over a dark black background meant to be shadow, this makes the title stand out especially in the colour chosen, the style of the text is almost a metal chrome that is slightly aged, this fits in with the time frame of the movie as from what the imagery on the poster is telling us it is set in the 80s, we can tell this from the style of clothes the man in the picture is wearing but also from the props the old style t.v and phone and the newspaper clipping up on the wall shows latest news story's such as 'details emerge on raids into US computers'. The tagline for the movie is 'change your passwords.' this not only links in with the title 'teenage hackers' but also fits in with the imagery on the poster with computers and keyboards. The website is displayed on the bottom of the poster www.the414s.com. there are no critics comments at all on the poster, this helps with the look of the poster as it is an aesthetic poster and looks very nice, more text would clutter the image, however critics comments would help to give the viewer of the poster a better idea of the quality of the film.
Good analysis Ed. L3. Don't forget to mention the layout of the text - this is fairly standard centring of the text.
