Rule of Thirds - Poster Analysis

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Everyones heads are on the top line of the grid to show their importance and bring the focus of the image to their faces.

Harry Potter is separated from the other people by being in the centre third and the others in the two outer thirds, therefore the focus is in the centre thus on Harry Potter who is the main protagonist of the film.

The text of the film “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” is on the bottom line of the grid to give it emphasis.

The light smoke comes in the middle to reflect hope, which is behind the character of Harry Potter which emphasises that he is the only hope.

Inception

All the actors heads are on the same line on the bottom of the grid which tells the audience that they are the characters in focus in the film.

The top third of the poster shows buildings that defy gravity and are upside down which informs the viewers that this concept is the basis of the film.

“Your mind is the scene of the crime” found just above the top line to give emphasis to the message this senate gives which also informs us of the theme of the film.

The buildings on the sides all occupy the side thirds of the poster, which surrounds the characters, therefore this derives the message that this concept of buildings is the main idea of architecture is the main idea of the film.

Jaws 

The sea level lies on the top line of the grid which draws the viewers attention to the girl swimming, portraying the idea that the majority of the film is to do with the ocean and it shows how the majority of the film is to do with what is under the sea as seen in the poster by the underwater taking up two thirds of the grid.

The shark takes up the space of the middle bottom square of the grid, this allows the picture to flow upwards as the viewers focus immediately zooms in on the shark then moves up.
