Clash of the Titan Poster Analysis

A brave warrior is a strong person with his expression and

weapon that can be read on this poster for Clash of the Titans. The

Clash of the Titans poster seems storm-like with an ominous

background and Perseus, who holds a sword, and Medusa's head that

female creature with having head of hair consisting of snakes. The

amazing poster was created for the 2010 film and does a wonderful

job of capturing the essence of the movie and enticing viewers to

watch it. This poster has elements of meaning.

Clash of the Titan Poster
The storm-like with an ominous background has elements and

hidden meaning. The background is clouds, dusty air, lighting, a collapsed city, and yellow-white

colors. Why did they put a yellow-white color in the background? It looks like a light spot. A

man shows up without no hesitation. It means he proves his bravery to be able to stand up. An

ominous background is that about action and a lot of threats. Look at mess and storm-like. The

clouds have storms and lightning. Those seem so heavy. Why is it storm-like? It makes it more

dangerous and excited about crazy coming, and there is no peace. That's more like no time to

breath. That's because it is proof of how Perseus is fighting without relaxation time. Another

thing is that it is messy and boom-like. Those are might war or disaster coming. For example, the

massive dragon destroys their city as toys. It's similar to a storm-like element meaning it makes it

more intense danger and worse in no time, or there is "Titans will clash" for a tagline.

Once again, Perseus tightly holds a weapon and Medusa's head, a winged female creature

with a head of hair consisting of snakes. He shows how he is tough and a real warrior as a more

important and focused character. He is quite used to shouting like he is already in war. Why did

he do that? He might make his confidence and mental strength as proof. Look at his weapon and

armor. Those are made of metal and seem already old. Those seem more like the Medieval Age.

Another thing is that old armor. It's possible to have long adventures and nonstop to get his goal

more important than useless and uncritical things. He proudly shows Medusa's head and his

sword. That sword shows how he is the hero who will fight against evil forces. Medusa’s head is

one of the best achievements because it is difficult to beat her. That means he must overcome his

difficult quests with human beings. Thinking about it that’s scary how creatures tough. He might

show how he can do it because he stands up and shows his achievements.

A warrior looks up and that may something or happens coming. Look at Perseus’s stare's

direction. He might fight powerful and massive creatures. How do know this? That's because he

looks up and uses important things in Medusa's head. Let's briefly explain how Medusa's head

works. She has a terrifying ability that can turn people or creatures to stone. If a person and she

gaze at each other, the person would slowly turn completely stone as a statue forever. If a person

cuts her head, is her ability lost? No, it is still active as long as it's safe from curses. Why did he

use it? It is possibly a worse threat than anyone. Anyway, Perseus may fight a creature who

reaches heaven. That part makes thinking to imaginations to it as possible. Possibly, he looks up

and continues to fight a higher creature with bravery, confidence, and strength.

Three parts of elements mean to be a “brave warrior” because that is how this warrior

does without fear and down. The three elements are stare, light, and bravery. Those are like a

mix for good taste. It means it may be meaning. Meaning is never to give up and continue to

walk the dangerous path with bravery to overcome difficult times. If he does opposite ways, he

can't be a "brave warrior." Did you notice there are no weaknesses or negative things? That

seems he never shows his weaknesses. "Never show your weakness to the world because the

world is much interested in playing with it"(Angela Ramsey).

Overall, this poster may have many meanings or missing hidden meanings if they

realized so deeply. Sometimes, they may create part of meanings to new meanings like mixing to

new inventions. No wonder people capture that. In addition, that's why movie posters are

important because they may have meanings, details, and not many spoilers. Those can make

people capture. The background, a man, and other things make it to reveal this fine idea. All of

the reasons are that movie posters can prove better for meaning and visuals than words; in fact,

they may encourage visuals to people if they capture.
