Teaser poster vs film poster: Avengers: Age Of Ultron

Official movie poster Teaser poster

This is the official poster for the movie Avengers: Age Of Ultron. This is very different to the teaser poster because it shows a lot more about the movie, the characters and the release date. This is a standard movie poster because it contains clear standard movie poster features; the stars, the release date and the title of the movie. The main colour that is presented is red, this could connote danger throughout the film or could represent power. The first idea you get from looking at the poster is an action film. This is the key genre of the movie. You can pick out action/adventure movie conventions by looking at the surroundings of the poster or by the way the superheroes are standing. This is a good official movie poster because it communicates well with the audience. You would be able to tell that this is the official movie poster and not the teaser poster because of the key conventions and how much it gives away about the movie.

This is the teaser poster for the movie Avengers: Age Of Ultron. This is very different to the official movie poster because it doesn’t show anything about the film, except that it comes out in 2015. The main colours that are used are red and silver. These two colours don’t really give you any impression of what the movie is about, but you could say that the red could represent danger. This teaser poster leaves you hanging because you want to find out more about the movie; it only shows the year of the release. Straight away you can pick out action/adventure movie conventions because of the way the ‘A’ is presented. This gives you more of an understanding of the genre the film belongs to. This is a clear teaser movie poster because of how little information is given away. This is a good example of a teaser poster because it doesn’t show anything about the movie such as the stars, exact release date or the name of the movie.

Both the official movie poster and teaser poster are different but have similarities also. Straight away for

looking at both of these poster next to each other, you can tell that the one on the left is the official poster

and the one on the right is the teaser poster. I know this because

the official movie poster shows lots of information about the movie, has the title of the movie in bold

and shows the stars of the movie in the middle of the poster.

I know that the poster on the right is the teaser because of how little information is shown. The teaser poster is very different compared to the official movie poster because the colours are more dull and less information is presented. One way in which both posters are similar is the fact that you can straight away guess that they are action/adventure movies. You can tell because of the conventions used. In the poster on the left, the surroundings and the superheroes give away the action genre and in the poster on the right, the way the ‘A’ is represented shows conventions of actions/adventure movies. Overall, both of these movie posters are different in their own ways but show a good understanding of action/adventure movie poster. I think that both of these posters are good to compare because of the many differences and few similarities they share.
