LO. to analyse the film poster set texts effectively.

James Bond looks sophisticated & intelligent.

The film was produced by EON productions and distributed in the uk cinemas by Universal Pictures and available to stream on Amazon Prime.

The main image shows James bond larger then the rest of the characters highlighting his importance in the film and how he is the main character. There are 3 men and 3 women, however the men could be considered or seen as more important as they're larger then the women.

In the credit block, they state the production and distribution companies, no actors names as the character name is bigger then thee actor as well as prior knowledge to Daniel Craig in Bond due to previous films.

mis-en-scene: facial expressions are serious - serious film & narrative so not a comedy. Costumes are professional & mature which fits with the genre and possibly the audience. Setting shows rural mountains and city with a flaming car showing the action genre with exciting locations.

The logo is 007 which is his identity and the audiences know it.

The genre is shown as action. We can see this by the setting and different locations. As well as weapons showing action and fighting, car chase scenes and motorbike.

The colour palette has contrasting colours - cold and warm.

Typography:  future black modern shows bond is still relevant and modern.

Intertextual - refers to another media.

The poster contains these character types: a hero (james bond), a villain (Safin), the princess (madeline),
