Typography; Film Posters.

This poster opted for a simple style of typography ensuring that it is clear for the audience. The title is positioned at the bottom of the page in the centre, because of its bright white colouring it contrasts with the dark background making it obvious and attracting the audiences eye. 

This font is not as clear as the kidulthood poster. The whole poster has a war/archaic theme, the typography reflects the theme of the poster as it is made to seem like it is made out of old stone. This effect is interesting to the reader as it makes the typography more interesting and appealing. Although it looks as if it is made out of stone the font is very simple and easy to read for the audience however, it does not stand out very well compared to some other posters as it is not contrasting with the image on the poster as it is in the same colour scheme. It is positioned in the centre at the bottom of the page, it is not the first thing the reader looks at but the image of the 'warlord' draws the eye down to the title. Positioned above the title is three Japanese symbols, this makes it more appealing as Japanese people can read the title as well, however the audience has to look close as they are very small and they do not stand out.

The typography on this poster is a simple yet effective style, they have made sure that is is clear for the audience. The colour of the title ties in with the colour scheme of the entire poster, this attracts the audience as the yellow contrasts off the black background and allows it to stand out, it is also very basic and gets straight to the point. The title is positioned so that the eye looks from the left downwards so 'the godfather' is the first thing read. 'Part ii' is in a bigger font, this is to emphasise that it is the second part to the godfather, this makes it stand out and makes the audience realise. The subtitle 'its coming for Christmas' also stands out to the audience, although it is in a much smaller font the reader has to get closer to see it, the colour scheme makes it stand out and easy to read.
