The Hunger Games Poster Analysis
The first striking aspect of this poster is the bird emblem on fire at the top of the poster. From this, we can assume that this emblem has an importance in the movie and maybe in particular to one of the characters. As it is on fire, this could represent that there will be fighting in the film, or that the character shown on the poster has a fire inside which gives them courage and extremely skilled at what they do, especially as the character is looking at the symbol rather than looking at the audience.
The next thing the audience would notice what we can infer is the main character, looking down a road to a building all lit up, with lights on the road leading up to the building. This could mean that this is the characters goal or destination from her quest, whether that is where she finishes safely or what she wants to destroy. The character also has a bow in their hand, which shows their main weapon during the story, but can also give us a clue to what kind of fighter they are, someone who is not the strongest, but very skilled and accurate with their fighting.
Finally, we can see a huge crowd surrounding the character either side of them. This could suggest that the character is famous or is a celebrity of sorts. Alternatively, it could be that the crowd is excited to watch what the character is about to do, which could be fighting in an arena. This can be supported by the sentence at the top of the poster which says "The world will be watching", and so this means that the protagonist could be in a competition watched by the whole world, adding a bit of competitiveness to the story in which the audience might want to join in with. The audience would also notice multiple flags flying high up from the crowd, with what we can assume are the two main characters. The character in the centre of the poster is on the flags to the left, and there is a boy of about the same age on the other side. Now this could be the antagonist of the film who she fights or competes against, but it is more likely to be her partner or maybe even her lover in the story. This could mean that the movie subverts the convention of action films where the woman is always getting rescued by the man, as she is the one with the bow.
