Task 6 - Contextual analysis of existing movie posters

Django Unchained (2012)
This Quentin Tarantino approved poster is one of my recent favourites. The poster is for a revenge-based spaghetti western starring Jamie Foxx as the lead slave seeking vengeance, Christoph Waltz, Samuel L. Jackson and Leonardo DiCaprio among others. The poster has only one colour: red. The remainder includes varies gradients from black to white. The colour scheme of a movie poster is possibly one of the most important aspects of such. The colours scheme chosen in this film poster could not be anymore bold and appropriate for its subject matter: racism in the Old West. The poster features a primary centre image of Django upfront and large, hence showing his position of power and King and Calvin in the background of the piece. The tagline at the top of the poster states: 'Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Vengeance'.
