Film Package Analysis Dark Knight Rises

In this post, I will be describing how The Dark Knight Rises has been promoted so far. I will be explaining how this film has been recognised so far and how the Posters, Film Trailers and the magazine covers all link to each other. And how the film poster stand out compared to Batman Begins & The Dark Knight.

These poster are both really similar in many ways, and the "The Dark Knight Rises" poster therefore gives us a personal identity of the previous posters, like the "The Dark Knight" poster, which has the Batman symbol on the building which is on fire on the building which is burning but it looks like it is still stable even though the audience can see bits of rubble coming down the building. And Batman in both posters is standing in a very similar stance which suggests that Batman is still strong and still alive. All three posters have batman as the main image to show that he is the main character in this film, the way they have positioned him shows the  basis of the story, in batman begins it looks like he is being  constructed or build by bats, this shows the beginning of something, in the dark knight it has a dark or Gothic look and feel to it were the batman logo is on fire behind him, this shows this film is set in a time of darkness and the batman is a beacon of hope but is like fire, i helps us in so many ways but can be destructive & finally the dark knight rises shows that the batman is in a dark place or city & somewhere he belongs but like the last poster the batman logo is above him and he is needed & the batman would needed to "rise"

This trailer which was released this year, and it shows the audience what characters are their in this film, and which ones are hero's and which ones are villains. It also shows the audience were the film is set and shows the audience that this film is an action film and the conclusion is a trilogy.

The way these films are linked together not because they are all part of a trilogy but because its the same cast and crew on the three films and the trailers, posters & films will have some of the same elements (see image below for an example)
