Lighting: Lighting in film noir tends to be quite extreme, there seems to be an extreme emphasis on adding more contrast between light and dark e.g.  This was most likely done in order to make the main figures seem more glamorous and attractive. While This scene does not necessarily follow the same lighting as the above images, the scene does still demonstrate extreme lighting to an extent due to the black and white colouration. The scene fits the typical conventions of a film noir film, the most obvious being the black and white colouration, the male lead and his attire are also quite common conventions of a classic noir film. 

Low key lighting is used in this still image, no top, under and back lighting was used only a filler light which is focused on the side of her face to create the atmosphere of mystery and deception. The filler light on the side of her face also creates multiple shadows on the other side of her face which create the idea that the woman possibly prefers to keep her identify hidden from other people. This image creates the impression that this woman is not to be trusted and is mischievous due to the dark lighting and the plain expression on her face. Smoke illuminated by the light also suggests that this person is not to be trusted and gives the impression that this woman could be seen as a 'rebel' or an antagonist. In this image low-key lighting is also used. Top lighting is the only light used to emphasise and highlight the key features of the persons face, for example her cheek bones are highlighted and stand out due to the top lighting . The no back...

Costume : The characters within the frame are all wearing either linen cloth or armour, this shows two things, first that the main characters are from a medieval era, most movies from a different genre or time zone would generally not use this style of dressing. Their costumes also show that they are prepared or preparing for physical conflict, something that is common in these kinds of movies. Lighting : The scene uses low key lighting , this creates an ominous and serious tone within the frame, the use of backlights along with the angle in which the shot was taken shows the viewers that something intimidating and dangerous is coming. Actors (Placement) : The actors within the frame  are placed in a synchronised battle formation giving the viewers a feeling of coordination and a feeling of trust between the figures. The fact that they all have their weapons drawn and are looking directly towards the camera adds to the feeling that something intimidating and...

Blade Runner: From what the poster is portraying, I believe that Blade Runner (1982) is a Science Fiction movie due to many things. First, the art style resembles that of the Star Wars franchise, a trilogy that came out at around the same time period (Star Wars the Return of the Jedi had come out at 1983, one year after Blade Runner had been released). The towers present in the poster look very advanced to represent any tower that existed at that time, and the flying vehicle also shows that the movie is set in the future. The colour pallet mainly consists of yellows, reds, and splashes of blue, these colours are common in action/science fiction movies. The tense expression on Harrison Ford's face along with the strange gun in his hand shows that throughout the movie there will be moments of stress, a feeling that is synonymous with action movies.  I believe that the movie is targeted towards men around 16-35 years old, that's mainly due to the action/Scie nce fiction nature...
