Analysing Lord Of The Rings film poster


As one my favourite films Lord Of The Rings is a great interest of mine. This poster has a very gloomy theme to it with most of the poster shrouded in mist and fog helping the Masthead to stand out where it has been placed. As the sequel to the Fellowship Of The Ring, The Two Towers has a rather mysterious name to those who haven't already read the book. The Poster contains two towers, one which is far larger (Mordor) this suggests that the film may be based around this which it subsequently is (as all the films are). As a symbol of great hope Gandalf (top left character on the poster) is pictured wearing gleaming white. Saruman (a traitor and evil character) is situated in the bottom right next to the other tower (Isenguard), this is useful because a great part of the film is based upon Saruman's actions. "The Journey Continues" ellement of mystery for those who haven't seen the fellowship. The fact that all of the characters are in between the two dark towers (in the poster) symbolises their weakness, the characters facial expressions also symbolise fear and weakness.
