Wall Street - analysis of Film Poster

•From the title
and the previous Wall Street film we already know that it is going to be about business.

•Their clothes also represent this because they are dressed formally like business men, possibly working in an office. Which brings out the character’s lifestyles.

•They are standing besides each other as if they are working together. Although Michael is positioned to be higher then him which means he has more authority or more power.

•The background is grey that fades into black, this also helps to highlight the characters personalities; We can clearly see Shia Labeouf and his facial expressions although it fades into black and we can not see Michael Douglas’s full face. This makes his character more mysterious and he possibly has a dark side of his own.

•Their facial expressions are important as well, because it gives away something about their personality. Shia Lebeouf is looking directly towards the audience which shows that he is confident and a strong character. Also his facial expressions look serious and focused which reflects on his life and what he goes through in the film.

•On the other hand Michael Douglas looks like he is creasing his eye brows slightly which hints that his character is up to something.

•The colour of the font used to present the actors and the slogan fits in well because it is clear to see.

•The formal font used for the title also fits in well with the story. It is a font that a business newspaper would use which also reflects on the theme of the movie.

     The font used in the masthead of this newspaper is the same font used in the title of the film.
