2. Teaser Poster
Here the teaser poster doesn’t need the title “IRON
MAN” for a reason because, you look at it and you
see the star Robert Downey Jr. and all of the suits
from the original made in the first film, then the
concept sliver armour, and the others from the
second film too. This is an iconic image because of
the IRON MAN suits being shown, also it’s showing
you that he’s inside his main lobby room where he
keeps his armour in a way of a collection of trophies
and similar versions.
The floor is different though than to the other films
and it shows like there is either a hanger underneath
or a lift, which is used in the film to store his new
armour.
3. The Official Movie Poster
In the poster the armour helmet is off so you can
see the main star of the feature, as the iconic image
of Iron man is usually with the whole armour.
His fist is enclosed which represents aggression in
his emotive feeling.
The right arm also shows part of the armour is
broken from his shoulder down to his hand which
shows a rough battle has been at hand.
The building in the background is Tony Starks
home, it’s fallen apart blown to pieces, this
symbolises the characters state and part of the
films synopsis.
The suits in the background show they’re under
remote control via Starks computer system
Jarvis, though if the audience were to look at this
poster you would think they have attacked him
because of his visual state.
4. Magazines advertised
This Entertainment magazine has
a representation of the two
characters in a relationship in the
film so far, the caption IRON
GIANTS represents the movie
IRON MAN by the sentence;
“PALTROW and DOWNEY Suit Up -
and Sparks Fly - in IRON MAN 3.”
The magazine also shows 3 other
pictures of MARVEL’s biggest
heroes.
The EMPIRE magazine advertises “The ORIGINAL
AVENGER” as IRON MAN 3 is released after the
great 2012 film The AVENGERS Assemble. Robert
Downey Jr. Is the main star in the film and
character of Tony Stark which means with him
being on the front of the magazine it represents
him as a bold character. Iron Man is well known via
cartoons, films, games, MARVEL’s Comics etc. The
film has been one of the biggest things that hit
MARVEL including The AVENGERS Assemble film and
the sequel to Avengers Assemble.
5. Differences between a teaser poster
and the official poster:
The teaser poster doesn’t really show the title of the film, who’s written it, directed
it, produced it and distributed it. Though it does show the MARVEL logo at the bottom right
corner, this is because it owns the rights of the storyline of IRON MAN. The 3 represents the
3rd film is on it’s way especially with the date. The main picture is what makes you know it’s an
IRON MAN movie because there’s Tony and there’s all of his suits.
The official movie poster has
the full title of the film
including all of the cast listed
and the exact date May 3rd
2013, whereas the teaser
poster says March 5th 2013,
which means it was still in
process. Most likely
distribution, this is because a
few films may find it hard to
find a film company to
distribute it.
The image is also different which is Tony on part of a
floating debris, which is part of the film where his home
basically gets blown to bits by terrorists and he doesn’t
float on a debris, but sinks to the ocean floor then reboots
the system and flies out of the scene.
6. MARVEL films are advertised in many different ways mainly through
there website, film official websites, YouTube, Facebook, TV
ads, magazines and other DVDs they’ve sold.
There products are also advertised through merchandise, kids
toys, android apps, video games and comics. This is resulted through
the first IRON MAN movie which released a video game and the 2nd
IRON MAN movie “IRON MAN 2” which also had a video game released.
On there official website marvel.com, MARVEL have a movies tab on
the navigation bar, which shows all the latest movies released and
ones still in production. They also have an official movie site which you
can find on Google search.
7. Like most films that come to the big
screen, IRON MAN 3 also has it’s
merchandise which backs it up such as
Kids action figures, video games and
phone mobile apps. Video games of the
films are on PS3 and Xbox 360, these
were IRON MAN and IRON MAN 2 whereas
the third film doesn’t appear to have a
game on the main games consoles.
Video games also help advertise a movie
further, which gets more buyers for when
the film releases, more tickets sold and a
good reputation for the game developer too.
The official game is on android phones and
costs roundabouts £4.79.
8. IRON MAN and IRON MAN 2 was distributed by
paramount pictures, the two films all together were
nominated 3 Oscars, 2 from IRON MAN, 1 from IRON
MAN 2.
The two films were also rather successful and I
myself think that because they both have a great
storyline and it’s good for sequels as every film is
great in a way.
IRON MAN 3 was distributed by Walt Disney Pictures now either
Paramount were busy or they couldn’t get them to distribute the 3rd
film, though usually a 3rd film to a series of them occasionally go quite
bad though I highly disagree with that as any film can be successful, so
IRON MAN 3 was distributed by Walt Disney and so is the next Thor
film, Thor: The Dark World, meaning Walt Disney must be working with
MARVEL studios.
