Language

looking at this poster you can tell as soon as you look at it that it is a film poster. The effect created here is the bold writing, centre picture, a billing block about main stars and producers,the age rating at the bottom, the names of the directors and the company production names at the bottom. The use of a tag -line at the top is a really big key convention when it comes to films. the effect of these key conventions on the audience is that they are able to quickly pick up on the type of genre by the use of the dark blue, orange and green colours which is noticeably the types of colours used in sci-fi action animations and who the target audience is, observing this film poster you tell this is a type of film made for families with young children. The slight glimpse of the characters gives it away that this is a kids film as the way the characters are portrayed. Another way you can tell that this is a film poster is the release date at the bottom and where the film is viewing.

starring= Reese Witherspoon, Seth Rogan, Hugh Laurie, will Arnett, Kiefer Sutherland, Rainn Wilson, Paul Rudd and Stephan Colbert.

Audience

Seeing this film poster the main target audience for 'Monsters vs Aliens' it looks very adequate for both genders, however, it may be targeted more towards female viewers as the character is put at the centre and seems to be on a high pedestal. This is showing female dominance. Furthermore, the tag-line towards the top suggest that this film is going to be more about fighting and saving lives of others but with a twist.

Representation

The centre image clearly shows a female hero who is surrounded by these creatures who seem to be her helpers in fighting a battle. The font of writing and the colourful images suggests that this is a friendly sci-fi action animation as expected in sci-fi films, by the way, the letters are placed and the size of them also the images behind the female character of the spaceships is a big give away. Furthermore, this front cover gives a new perspective on women as it highly conman for male characters to be the centre of attention when it comes to being a hero in a film.
