ANALYSIS OF SHERLOCK HOLMES

ANALYSIS OF SHERLOCK HOLMES:


The first thing we identify are the main characters. These are the two characters on the front of the poster which stand out and are obviously the main characters of this film. Surrounding the two men are other characters we will be introduced to on in the film. On the right of Sherlock Holmes is a man with an aggressive and evil look on him and half of his face turning around. This demonstrates that he will be villain and the main criminal in this film. Just above this criminal we see on an old street light the number '221'. This is located on Baker Street in London, which a house numbers for one of the characters. We can also see a women with a slight sly look on her which suggests she could be in love  with one of the main characters.
Due to the clothing the characters are wearing, we can tell this film was based in the late 1800s. They are dressed smart, with a top hat, leather gloves, all which connotes the time period. It also connotes a sense of wealth and pride which some men had. We can also see this by their stance and facial expressions which illustrates they are superior.
In the back of the poster we can see a large steel frame which is usually situated in a prison or a police station. This highlights that this film will contain crimes, violence, criminals and investigations.
