Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2014

Analysis of teaser and main posters

Teaser Poster Main Poster

• A teaser and main poster for any film have to be very different. A teaser poster just shows an object or a hint to what the film is about. In the TMNT teaser poster you can only see the main characters hands with their choice of weapon. You can see just from the hand who the character is, each turtle has their specific colour and this is shown with the coloured bandages on their wrists. A fan of the turtles will understand at once who each wrist belongs too, they don’t need to show the whole character for the audience to understand.

• This is different to the main poster because the main poster shows the whole body of the main characters. Even if the audience isn't a big fan of the previous films they can see and fully understand who the characters are and what sort of film it is going to be. The title is in the same iconic font on the main and teaser poster which helps the audience to see that they are the same film. The main and teaser posters have their similarities, they use the same colours, the font are the same and the characters used on both posters are the same.

There were 4 different teaser posters made for the 2014 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movie and each one shows a different character. The layout of the posters are the same, the hand of each turtle with their weapon to show that the film will be action and some sort of danger. The mist in the background matches the colour of the individual turtle and it's in the same area, this cold show that they fight together, they have the same stance and nearly everything is the same about each poster, just the colour and the weapons are different. The positioning of the title is in the same place on each poster as well.

• This main poster shows more of what the film is about than the teaser poster. It features what the main charters look like and what their new image is. At the bottom of the poster it uses the same font and colours as the teaser poster. It has the release date of the film and the directors, producers etc, just like a normal main poster for any film. • The colours used are very dark with some

green in the background and the characters show the most colour in the poster. This could show that the characters are the main feature of the film because they are the ones in colour, against the black background.

• The teaser and main posters for the 2014 remake of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle have their similarities but also have their differences. The main poster has more details about the film, the genre and characters. The main and teaser posters use the same colours and background, the background for both posters is plain black which helps for the features of the poster to stand out more, this will attract more attention from the public. Teaser posters are used to get the audience excited for the film, the teaser poster comes out before the official trailer and it's only used to give a few hints, not to give away main parts of the plot. A main poster is used to give more information about the film and this is released before the film and along with the official trailer.• I think that both the main and teaser posters for this film are very good, they

include the main features of an ordinary poster and they use a range of colours to bring the characters to the front of the poster and to help them stand out. You can tell what genre the film is going to be and the audience doesn't really need any background information information to understand what the posters show.
