LO: To analyse texts using the correct terminology.

It's Brad Pitt. He looking fresh and people find him attractive so he will attract many people to the fragrance. He's wearing a chain so this implies that he may be rich. 

This poster shows that the movie probably includes death due to there being a gun. His glasses shows that he is a robot because of all the symbols on his glasses. The man in this poster looks very hench and will probably take on a lot. The writing on the left really entices whomever reads this and then there gonna wanna watch the movie. The photo is very badass too.
