Textual Analysis- Kidulthood

















The title itself is quite bold and easy to read. The fact that one letter in the main title is lower case gives it a childish feel and generally shows the message of the characters going through their personal journey of adolescence. Also the tagline suggests where the characters are in line, it also hints of a sequel to the film which would engage the audience to watch the film carefully to find clues as to what may happen in the sequel. The main text is bigger because it is the main element of the poster and needs to be visualised clearly.
The film poster portrays the film to be violent, due to the male in the hooded jumper holding a baseball bat. Furthermore the use of costume in the poster depicts the stereotypical idea that teenage boys in hooded jumpers and body warmers are a danger to society. The main image is of the characters placed in a group. This highlights the gang conflicts within the film.  There is the sun braking through behind the characters, which could signify the teenagers growing up into adulthood. The colour scheme consists of dark and dull colour which reflects the darkness of the narrative.
