| The Walking Dead Season 5 Promo Poster (Main Media Analysis) |
Language:
The Institution (AMC) have used minimal words within several of their season 5 posters including my main media analysis (above) to Allow the audience to think of some possible story lines which creates a more interactive relationship between the audience and creators of the show.
Most of the sentences are extremely vague such as 'Hunt or be Hunted' which is relevant to the the actual show since there are many unknown circumstances, others include (see Pictures below)
AMC's use of simple sentences and questions all entice the specifically target audience to watch not only the upcoming season but the previous seasons too as it is linked to the cliffhanger ending of Season 4 with many unresolved situations.One examples is, we don't know who has survived or how the others are going to escape Terminus.
When we see 'Hunt or be Hunted' we think of possible deaths of beloved characters and/or plot twists, there is also a rife sense of danger which may be stronger within this season, overall the minimal language used in the main poster subtly reveals a sense of excitement as it subtly reveals what possible action is yet to come.
The Picture is very secretive so we don't know what is happening, for instance it looks like someone or something is looking at Rick but we don't know anything except that he looks scared and has perhaps run away from some Walkers or the people at Terminus.
Institution:
The institution responsible for producing these advertisements is AMC who have created other extremely successful shows such as Breaking Bad. The posters could also represent the rivalry between fellow Cable Channels, and perhaps even signify the fact that they are slowly creeping up behind other Channels especially in views and show ratings.
Audience:
The audience will most likely be 16+, (presumably due to the amount of violence and gore), however it is aimed at both genders.
Representation:
Due to a white male being the main part of the poster, it may cause the audience to have an increased number of white males. However, this is not the case for all posters as there are several others where there are people for several different races.
