Narrative Of Film Posters

The Departed

The film is about gangsters in America, this film poster reflects this by the use of the three main characters (Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon and Jack Nicholson) The use of the font on 'The Departed' is the same font they use in the Godfather posters showing the film relates to gangsters and mobsters. This poster shows its main target audience is males, by having three rough looking actors on the front. The use of Jack Nicholson in the poster is to show that Nicholsons main types of film is for men. Also the way the poster is Black and seems very empty shows the poster is not to attract your attention but the stars that feature in the film.
