1. The Wolf of Wall Street

2. Layout It’s got a simple yellowish gold themed color scheme and uses simple font, this also relates to some of the people in the background are also wearing yellow this connotes to the idea of wealth as we associate the color of gold with wealth The main title stands out because it’s in a box it’s also the biggest font size on the poster This is most likely the feature poster because the image tells us less of the story than the other poster. I think that this layout it very interesting because it links the text with the image through the use of the shoe overlapping into the text box, here the same color scheme of gold and black is used and the name of the movie is also featured in the biggest font size

3. Use of Photography In the main poster we can see that Leonardo DiCaprio is the main character because he is in focus, this also means that this 1 photography rather than a combination of few images. Despite of the busy background which has a lot of things happening we notice the main character first because this is a Biography of Jordan Belfort a character that DiCaprio is playing. The lighting used is bright as the photography is set in a office, it doesn’t use natural light.

4. Use of Photography part 2 Unlike in the first poster here we are shown 2 main characters who are Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill, there is less information being told in this apart from the fact that they live a luxurious lifestyle. This is seen through the use of white Gucci shoes, gold watches and designer sun glasses which are connotations of luxurious and expensive lifestyle. A difference between these two posters is that this one is set outside and you can see natural sunlight beaming through in the edge of the poster

5. How are the stars and directors used? In both posters we can see the name of the director being mentioned in the same sized fonts. It’s included because Martin Scorsese is one of the worlds best directors and people who do know him will now that all of his films are made to high standard. Some of his other famous work include “ Goodfellas ” (1990) “ Shutter Island ” (2010) “ The Departed ” (2006) We also see the names of Leonardo DiCaprio in both of the posters and Jonah Hill in the second poster because they are A class actors and most likely people would have heard of them.

6. Genre of the film We can see that the film is based on the character of Leonardo DiCaprio because he is in focus, which suggests it’s a film about him being the lead character in a office typed job with some comedy involved due to the things which are happening in the background Although this isn’t very clear from the image it self however on the bottom there is a text which states “based on the book by Jordan Belfort” which is an indication that this is biography.

7. Target Audience The PG rating for this film is 18. This can be seen in the first poster with some mildly explicit scenes going on in the background of the office
