The Sullivans movie broadside.

The Sullivans movie broadside.

In Kyle Schlesinger’s reading he talks about how broadside can be seen in different ways. One of the ways is, total immersion. This is talking about how a text can be difficult to distinguish from one another. In this movie poster of The Sullivans it shows total immersion. The text is made to look more comical and not too serious. The text the author used to make this poster is different for every section of the poster. The title is the largest part and is overlapping all the letters. There is display typed used for differentiating the title from the actors. The names of all the people in the movie are unclear and hard to read because of all the different variations of fonts and how close together are put. Some names are different sizes and texts from one another. The actor’s names are condensed really closely together making it harder to distinguish all the names. The actor’s names are relatively smaller than the title. The scale between the different words vary from one another causing more awareness in the important words the author is trying to point out to the audience. The quote on the top left corner is arched and the title is slanted creating a different effect. This creates a less serious look to the movie poster. The main actors names are using a baseline by creating a smooth look and symmetry. This movie poster is advertising their movie and making it more prominent by having the title large and in a bright color, causing awareness.
