Movie Poster Interpretation

TITANIC

The cover box for Titanic direct meanings to the audience, which is clearly presented through the various images on the cover. The cover is composed of images that tell the audience right away what they expect from the movie. Initially catching the audience's eyes is Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet pictured at the top of the poster. DiCaprio's arm is around Kate Winslet , suggesting that the movie is about these two being lovers. Kate Winslet is wearing a diamond earrings, which shows that character is from a rich family background. 

The large image of the bow of a large ship tells the audience the setting of the movie is placed on a ship. The ship is obviously the famous Titanic as suggested by the bold title across it. The ship symbolise their love which is strong, immense and continually forging onward. That is reveals that this is a story of two young lovers probably on a ship.

This two actors' eyes are lowered, giving the impression that they are deep in thought as if they are trying to figure things out. The way the word Titanic is presented also signifies their love. The implicit messages behind the contrast is to signify how the ship is the key to fully understanding the story of these two lovers.

Beside that, look closely, that the characters are shown using very soft and faded colours giving a wispy feel and the ship is very sharp with the colours bold.
