Clash of the Titans 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 her 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 Titans 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 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, and those seem so heavy. Why is it storm-like? It makes it

more dangerous and exciting about a crazy coming, and there is no peace. It is more like there is

no time to breathe. That is 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 is like a storm-like element meaning it

makes it more intense, dangerous, and worse in no time, or there is "Titans will clash" for a

tagline. The tagline is “Between gods and men, the clash begins” or “The heavens raise hell.”

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 and seem more like the Medieval Age. It is

that old armor. Having long adventures and nonstop to get his goal more important than useless

and uncritical things is possible. 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 is scary how are creatures tough? He might show how

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

A warrior looks up and that means that something is going to happen. Look at Perseus’s

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

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

Medusa's head works. She has a terrifying ability that can turn people or creatures into 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 if it is safe from curses.

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

reaches heaven. That part makes thinking to imaginations to it as possible. 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 challenging times. If he does opposite ways,

he cannot be a "brave warrior." Did you notice there are no weaknesses or negative things? This

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

world is quite interested in playing with it" (Angela Ramsey). Why was this quote added to relate

to this part of a poster? That is because it is related to encouraging words.

Overall, this poster may have various meanings or missing hidden meanings if analyzed

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 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.
