The names 'Colin Firth' and Geoffrey Rush' are placed above the title ,portraying there importance in the film. however 'Helena Bonham Carter's' name is placed directly below the title, showing that, although she is an important character, she is not as important as the other two actors. furthermore the title colour is in gold which is seen as a rather elegant colour. It can also be seen as a rich and royal colour which represents the context of the film well as it is all about an elegant king. Moreover the colour gold is also a very bright and bold colour. It is used to make the title and the star ratings stand out from the rest of the poster, so you can notice them straight away and will want to see it because of the good ratings.
The posture is also interesting. Colin Firth, who play King Albert, is standing elegantly and facing the camera. This may be to show his importance as a whole in the film. Since he is the king and the main character, he has a very important role to for fill. Whereas Geoffrey Rush, who plays the kings speech therapist, is facing away from the camera yet he is also standing in a tall posture. this could mean that, even though he a very important character in the film, he is not as important as the king, for obvious reasons.
The costumes are also very diverse. Colin Firth is suited in a royal jacket with a sown on badge.It is done up with golden buttons. This portrays the kings class as upper class seeing as the costume is quite expensive looking and posh. however Geoffrey Rush has a slightly different outfit. suited in an average blazer, which does not seem to be buttoned up, and shirt and tie. this shows his class as much lower and is maybe middle or working class. Finally the colour used not very bright, professional and is pleasing to the eye. This may be because it is mainly directed at older age groups who see bright colours as harsh or uninviting.
