The Amazing Spider-Man



The main title is smaller compared to the image due to the fact that most of the audience members will know that this is spider-man as he there have been many recreations and films about the superhero for the last 50 years. The style in which the font is produced is italics therefore, implying that everything that happens in the movie will be a quick pace and will be edgy. In the poster we witness the protagonist of the movie Spider-Man himself. The image shows the protagonist to be the centre of attention. We witness that the eyes of the protagonist is on the city therefore, signifying that he has his eye on the city and he is there to protect the city from any danger. In addition, there are scratches on the protagonists chest therefore, this suggests that violence is too follow during the movie. Also the scratch going through the logo of the spider therefore, this suggest that a part of him was torn or ripped apart, like almost something is missing. The atmosphere conveyed is of dark colours. The dark colours suggest that the protagonist perhaps could have a dark past and he finds peace and light through becoming spider-man. Furthermore, the spider webs behind him could work as a barrier between him and the city. due to the fact that he has found a new personality and has a secret that he must keep away from everyone. In addition, the web behind him can also signify that he is out to protect the city and nothing can stand between him and the city. therefore, the light behind him suggests he will be the light and hope for the city when they're in darkness/trouble. The title 'The Amazing Spider Man' suggest that he is a superhero that's different compared to others hence the word 'amazing. In one interview with the stars of the amazing spider man the protagonist has mentioned how Spider-Man is truly 'amazing'. He had also mentioned that how we all have heroic impulses within us. Therefore, suggesting we are all heroic in our own ways. There are no director names mentioned this may be because it's a brand new fresh spider-man. Therefore, the focus is mainly on him rather than any one else.  The similarities between this piece of text and the broadcasting is that they both mainly focus on the main protagonist. In addition. both the trailer and the official poster for The Amazing Spider-Man give off a moody/mysterious atmosphere. They have conveyed this specific atmosphere in order to correlate with the main narrative of the movie which is 'What happened to Peter Parkers parents?, Where are they now? Why did they leave him?'. Therefore, the gloomy atmosphere contributes to these questions the audience may think when viewing the movie or trailer. However, the two texts differ. One text allows the audience to view the plot and potential story/narrative of the movie. Whereas, the poster just conveys and gives off a particular emotion to the audience. Posters tend to be more boring to the audience as they're not viewing any action or story line. But the poster gives of an emotion to the movie overall.
