Analysis of a thriller poster

This is a poster advertising 'The Matrix' movie (1999).

To begin with the colour is mainly all dark, illuminating white and unnatural electric blues have been edited into the poster to surround the focal point (the main character) which creates an impression that he is the strongest.

Looking at the costume used, I can see they have matched the dark and unnatural colours used in the background and to surround the characters. The costume is mainly black, Neo, the main character has a long black coat on which emphasizes his strong status. The rest of the characters are wearing black all with different characteristics such as the woman wearing patent black leather trousers and a vest, the image of power is taken further with the use of gun props to enhance their status, making the audience almost feel threatened.

Overall the poster gives the impression that the movie will have action; implied by the weapons, and some strange theme shown through the background with peculiar fonts which we cannot recognise leading onto the title, and it's font. This has a electrical/glitchy font which matches the style and themes of the poster.
