To prove or disprove the following hypothesis 'The products constructed to market James Bond films are designed to offer a clear appeal to a wide global audience of young males age 17-35'. I wanted to look at a variety of James Bond posters from different time periods and compare the format of them.
In a variety of covers, there are a lot of half naked female figures, which is very provocative. This can be denoted by the audience as showing that the films contain sexual themes. This will appeal to males within these ages because this is what marketers think that they want to see.
Similarly the colour white featured in the posters to show purity and can be foreshadowing of future events in the film, inciting the audience. The colour white is featured in the majority of the posters and it creates a sense of mystery.
It colour also support the hypothesis about young males, due to the fact there is a star image, Daniel Craig and Sean Connery are staring on the posters. This appeals to an audience because if they are a fan of these actors they will want to watch the film.
Themes of romance are portrayed in these films in all of these posters, which provide the idea that there is a romantic elect to the films. Stereotypically this will intrigue men. This is denoted on the 'Spectre' poster due to the fact that Bonds tie is the same colour as the woman lips. This could show a bond between the characters in a romantic light.
