The Other Guys Poster

So basically we've been to start on our ancillary tasks, Our group has chosen to do a website and a poster.. So where better to start my research than with The Other Guys, which has a similar genre to ours, apart from The Other guys is also a comedy.. which I wish ours was!..

So Here is the poster you can click on it to a full size view of it..

What the poster includes:
Title of the film - In a white bold font, which is easily noticeable as it stands out from the background.
A large action shot picture in the centre of the poster. The eye catcher. The picture shows that the film is an action film without needing to say, but also a comedy by their positions and by the expression on the man in the grey suits face..
Famous actor names-the main characters in black font standing out from the background at the top of the poster.
Date of the film -  Again white font what stands out in its background nestled between the companies involved and the website.
Tagline- One of 2 bits of the poster which actually has a colour. Which makes it stand out from all the text whats around it. It also gives a little taste of what the film about, in just a few words, in a way what suits the genre.
Website:.The poster has a link to a website, although this is very small and just nestled with all the company logos at the bottom of the poster. However the design of the poster has decided to focus on directing people to there page on facebook. Which suggests that more people are likely to go on their facebook site than go to the website. Thus suggesting the type of audience what might be interested in it.. 
Colours:. The poster mainly uses dull colours, apart from the red tie and the yellow tagline. The background is like a linear gradient going from light at the top to dark at the bottom.. with a smoke effect. As if its that action shot where an explosion has just happened behind them what you see in many action films where explosions happen.

We can defiantly take aspects of this poster for use in ours, the positioning, the colours, whats included etc.
