3. Analysis of Invictus Film Magazine
Parade is an American- produced magazine
which is sold with Sunday newspapers and is
distributed in more than 500 newspapers
across the United States.
• The magazines name is behind the image
of the actors but is in front of the blue
background of the magazine front cover
and Parade always use the same Red title
on every published magazine.
• Magazine doesn’t feature image from film,
the front cover features the director of the
film and the two main actors dressed in
higher class clothes.
• The Title is in yellow bold text so it stands
out from the image in the foreground.
• The white text above the title talks about
what the film is all about.

4. Analysis of Invictus Teaser Trailer
Invictus Teaser Trailer:
• The scene is set with text and audio voice-over from Morgan
Freeman who is one of the main characters
• After the voice-over the score creates tension
• Uses clips from the film
• Transactions between clips shows change in setting and
scenes in the film
• When clips of the film are shown, it doesn’t show much of the
good bits but only a few so it grabs the attention of the
audience.

5. Analysis of Dodgeball Movie Poster 1
• Main Actors names are used at the top of
the poster
• Image shows something that occurs
during the film
• Black Bold Text on the movie poster
involves a quote from the film which is
used quite often throughout
• The name of the film is shown in the
colour red to resemble the colour of a
Dodgeball
• The other actors that are involved in the
film, have their names at the bottom of
the movie poster
• White background is used so the text and
image stands out

6. Analysis of Dodgeball Movie Poster 2
• Quote from the film in bold black text so it
stands out from the white background of
the movie poster
• The title has a Dodgeball effect like the
rubber on the ball is done as the title.
• The date that the film is released so their
target audience know what it is available
to watch in cinemas.
• The image of the two teams stand out as
the white background allows the image to
be clear and not have any bright colours
affecting the images which is the main
attention of the viewer of the movie
poster.
The film “Dodgeball” didn’t use a film magazine
to help advertise its film.

7. Analysis of Dodgeball teaser trailers
Dodgeball teaser trailer:
• Sets the scene with a voiceover and scenes from the film
• Smooth transactions from scene to scene allow so the viewer
doesn’t loose track of what's going on as if too much is going
on, they might not want to watch it
• Later in the trailer, the score in the background helps the
viewer to know what is going on
• Variety of clips are shown to make the audience laugh and
they’ll remember that moment and remember the film.

8. Analysis of Goal Movie Poster 1
• Title of the film stands out from the image
and the background of the movie poster
• Background colour/ image resembles when
the sun goes down over the beach and how
the main character feels like it is a dream
come true.
• The sport is easy to identity as the character
in the movie poster is holding a football so it
is easy to recognise.
• In white text above the title of the film is
almost like a skyline which they use in
magazines.
• Main actors name is not shown at the top of
the poster but is shown in the list of other
actors at the bottom of the poster.

9. Analysis of Goal Movie Poster 2
• Images at the bottom of the movie poster
are taken from the film and are shown in
different colours, almost like they are
memories from his mind.
• The name of the title is shown across a
black bar so it is stays out with it’s white
text
• The image of the main character on the
top image is against a blue background so
the main character stands out and his
image grabs the audiences attention.
• The white text next to the title of the film
stands out across the black background, it
is in a foreign language as it was
distributed in many different countries.
The film “Goal” didn’t use a film magazine to
help advertise its film.

10. Analysis of Goal Teaser trailer
Goal teaser trailer:
• Voice-over starts the trailer
• Clips show the main characters dream & ambition
• Tension builds into whether he is going to have the chance
• Clips show how the dream becomes reality
• Dream gets ruined but then soundtrack in background creates
tension on what he is going to do next
