Ancillary Products (Research) - Specific Genre Poster Analysis 2

Here is my second analysis of a documentary that is something similar to the kind of ancillary product I would like to make that relates with a documentary. The main difference between the type of documentary advertised on this poster compared with the documentary I have made is that the documentary I have made doesn't involve nature. However, this is something that I can focus on the differences with- I will still include a colour theme, but instead of it involving nature, I will try and make it similar to the colours of popular high street shops.
Firstly, the colour theme on this documentary is very nature oriented- most of the colours are white, navy and green, which all revolve around the main focal image. This colour scheme again accentuates the natural theme of the documentary.



Within the typography, at the top it advertises who made the documentary, which is the BBC. These are world renowned for being famous for making documentaries, and this helps to promote the documentary as being something that is well known. It tells the audience the title of the documentary, which is 'Planet Earth', and advertises who made the music, which is George Fenton. This goes against usual archetypes, because normal documentary posters have much more credits than this one.
The focal image, which is some animals, and the image has been edited to make it look like the edge of the world.
The differentiation between the birds and other animals (buffalo) provides a good range of both colour, and provides the audience with something with an interesting contrast. This helps to build audience anticipation for the documentary.
