Alex's Poster Research.

Poster Research.

I've looked through some documentary and mockumentary film posters. Each of them have same format having the main character/object in the middle emphasizing that this film is about this and surroundings are usually empty or not that significant making object in the middle stand out.
 





 
This is poster for a mockumentary called "I’m Still Here: The Lost Year of Joaquin Phoenix". This film is documenting Joaquin Phoenix's transition from the acting world to a career as an aspiring rapper. You can see that the main character Jaquin Phoenix is in the middle of poster and you can see that he is the main character of mockumentary and emphasizes it straight away as you look at it. It has text saying "I'm still here" all over the posterwhich is part of film as well showing the name of film. Jaquin's look is pretty roughed up probably showing that this way from acting to rapping is hard, he looks tired and wears sun glasses not showing his eyes.
This poster is for film Borat. It's about a journalist from Kazakhstan who goes to USA to learn about their lives. The full name of film is "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan". Again you can see Borat, the main character of film in the middle of poster holding a bag showing that he's going to travel and holding an Amercan flag showing his destination without looking at name of film. He has formal suit on him but his hair style is all messed up showing that he's not a usual person and at least not from USA judging by his looks.
