Looking at the promotional package of a film: Pazhassi Raja

As 'Emma' was an older film which was made in 1996, I have decided to look at a more recent film which is 'Pazhassi Raja', released in 2009. I will look at the promotional package for this film, which is a combination of a trailer, magazine front cover, promotional poster and website too.

Promotional Poster:



This poster shows the role of men within that time period, as the male looks like a figure of authority. We can tell by the clothes he is wearing and the writing on the poster that it is set in somewhere like India. The use of the gold has connotations of wealth and possibly royalty.


Magazine Front Cover:


I could not find a magazine front cover for this film, although there were reviews and online newspaper articles about it.


Website:

This website has features such as wallpapers, images and reviews and has links to other films that the target audience may also be interested in.


Trailer:



Even though this film is not of the same genre as the one which my group are going to make it has been interesting to look at, as it shows the outfits which people living in India in the 1800's would wear. It has given me an insight to how each of the coutries in the world during that period of time were different, especially the different classes and those with certain occupations.
