Film poster and representation

LO:To analyse the film poster for key representation.

• Suit/formal.
• Gun/weapon.
• Strong.
• Stealthy.
• Serious expression on face.

The image of James Bond on the NTTD poster shows him dressed in his formal smart clothing which he is seen in throughout many different Films he has featured in. This dress code in James Bond films usually connotes action which creates a meaning for the character and how he is important throughout. Overall, the film seeks to represent Bond in the same way throughout the film.

• James Bond historical masculine stereotype- strength ,skill and independence. 
• The representation of gender in the Bond franchise has evolved over time. To reflect the changing social context-MWTGG.
• Craig's Bond is not as sexist and overly stereotypical- modern masculinity as his Bond is older, more vulnerable and shows signs of it.

• Nomi being the new 007 was reported prior to the film being released.
• Led to a minority of racists trolling the actor online(Nomi.)
• Dr Madeiline Swann is pictured twice on the poster.

Stereotype:

Representation of gender-Men are larger on the poster rather than the woman showing the importance of their character.

Representation of ethnicity-Varying in race throughout the film however Nomi is changed away from 007 and is given back to James Bond.

Representation of age-Mostly shown actors of middle aged status.

Representation of sexuality-Paloma is sexualised by her outfit.
