Mr& Mrs Smith is a hybrid genre film consisting of Romance/action/thriller genres. The film became a hit success in the USA and other international countries. Here is my analysis of the film poster and how we can use it help with our film poster.
The first thing that i notice about the poster are the two characters on either side of the poster against the white background. Both characters are wearing dominantly black clothing with the man holding the gun in his hand and the woman having a gun straped to her leg on her cut dress. This tells the audience that the film is likely to contain either voilence or action. Also both characters are both looking at the audience whilst standing on one leg. This tells me that these characters will mean business in the film.
The next thing which strikes me is the title of the film, "Mr and Mrs Smith", also in black writing with the "&" in orange. This tells the audience that these two characters in the poster are most likely to be a couple who work as a team. I then notice who the characters are in the film at the top of the poster. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Both these stars are placed at the same level on the poster making them equally well known actor and actress. Audiences looking at this poster will also realise that they have played similar roles to what will be expected of them in the film.
Finally i notice at the bottom of the poster a quote that has been said by a critic or magazine. " Smart and sexy". This tells me that this quote has been placed there to try target the main audience the film wants to attract.
We should take ideas from this poster because the dominant lead in our film is female and so is in this film. We should look at how Angelina is betrayed in the poster and we could use that to help choose our shot to put in our poster.
