Analysing Film Posters - 'Gladiator II'

The third film poster I am going to analyse is for the epic 'Gladiator II', a sequel directed by Ridley Scott.



The poster contains the following conventions:

• title of film
• name of director
• names of key stars
• billing block towards the bottom
• reference to other films made by same director
• rating
• social media links
• production company logos
• sound logos
• release date
• reference to source material
• dominant central image of main character
• other smaller images of other characters
• reference to genre through costume and props
• reference to format
