Original and Re-Releases.

These two posters are the posters for the film Jaws, the left is the original poster and the right is the re-release poster. Although they both look very similar, the second poster shows quite a few differences. For example, the sky in the right poster has now got more of a realistic view to it with the clouds and the sunset which means that the film itself should have better pixels etc and will be more realistic which is exciting for the audience.
The shark in the second poster also looks more realistic as it has clearly used a computer programme that's well updated to make to shark look more frightening, whereas the original poster looks as if the shark has just been drawn on with a pencil.
The colours on the poster even have a different effect to them. They are much more stern and bright, attracting the audience to the poster and making them more excited to watch the film itself.
An important thing to take note of on this poster is that it has the title "40th" Anniversary release" clearly on the poster and also has the re-release date on it which is important for the audience. 
The poster on the left is the original poster for the film ghostbusters and the one on the right is the 30th anniversary re-release poster for it. There isn't much difference between these two posters but in the right poster is does actually feature the actual ghostbusters themselves and of course the fact that it's the 30th anniversary is included on it. However, unlike other re-releases this film is just being shown again in cinemas for one week only as stated on the poster itself.

The devil wears prada China.

This devil wears prada poster is one which was made for the release in china. The thing I like about this poster is that it is different to most of the other posters for this film. However, it does still include the devil's tale and the colour red to reinforce the devilish and evil side to the film.

Although this film poster is very eye catching, it would not be able to be used in all countries. For example, places like Syria and Egypt this poster wouldn't be allowed to be used as it would be deemed as to explicit.

The target audience for this poster would be women and men above the age of 18 as the poster is quite explicit and could be classed as quite sexual from the way the lady is standing and the fact that she has no clothes on.

Another way we can tell this film will call out to women is by the fact that the lady on the front is wearing heels. It's like if a film poster had a tie on it, this would call out to men as they are usually associated with suits and having high-paid jobs.

Voldemort.

This edit of Voldemort form harry potter really caught my eye. Although, it's just a drawing of his face the other side, it could possibly mean that he has two sides to him, that the other side is empty and lost as the drawing is not very detailed.

I also like this idea because it shows two different styles of pictures.  If i was to use this for the devil wears Prada, I would draw marble streets face to show her emptiness but i would only draw the last 2cm of her face (roughly) to show how strong she is by having the real picture as most her face.

The target audience for this poster would be females/males aged between 10 and 28. this would be because the audience for harry potter itself is anything from children to adults, however Voldemort is a dark character and was made to be hated by the viewers of harry potter so this would manly be aimed at adults the fact there is a drawn image as well as a picture image would also be a reason that this image is targeted for children as well as adults, the drawn image is not to complicated and will stand out for the younger generation.
