    Film poster:




    The film poster has a very light background this would often be associated with nice happy things. Because I have watched the film I know that the background of the film poster is the same as the setting of the last scene of the film. Im the foreground you see 'Albert' with 'Joey' which I think shows that there is a close relationship between them.

    DVD Cover;

     

    The front side of the dvd cover is exactly the same as the film poster however the back cover shows some clips from the film. The back cover doesn't have any scenes of war, unlike the front cover. Its almost like the front cover being the front lines of WW1 and the back cover has nice peaceful images on. 

    Characteristics of Joey:
    • Brave 
    • Inquisitive
    • Strong 
    • Playful

    Film poster

    The poster's background is dark because it it could be showing you that Batman is trying to fight dark forces. It could also be black to be the same as the costume that Batman would wear, and then the bat in the centre of the poster could be his belt buckle. The reason the centre logo has a bright background is because its trying to show that Batman (who is a good force so is portrayed as yellow) is trying  to fight the bad which is black.

    My favourite Sequence


    The reason why this is my favourite sequence in the film is because it shows that batman is a force to be  reckoned with. It also shows the vast amount of gadgets Batman has at his disposal. In the sequence it also shows batman fighting the bad guys to save 'a damsel is distress'. In the sequence it uses lots of different camera angles. I like his because it means that you are not seeing the character in the same position every time the camera is on them. It uses the following angles: ELS (extreme long shot), LS (long shot), MLS (medium long shot), MS (medium shot)  and CU (close up). 
    Within the sequence there are also lots of difficult stunts which make the chase scene more interesting.

    Batman official website

    The fist thing that you see is where you can buy the film from. These are links to the companies websites. However the site doesn't have any products that you can buy i.e T-shirts ect. You can watch videos on the website as well as view pictures.
