In Class: Image

I think the image of king kong is the coolest of the images. i feel like laughing when i see it because it is so old and cheesy looking. i think its more interesting to look at than the others not only because it has more information on, but also because it grabs me attention more. i feel that if i saw this image when king kong first came out in 1933, that i would want to go see it. i would feel that it was the next best thing in the entertainment world. the graphics on the image are well done and keep me asking questions and wanting to know when and what happens.

Theres a giant monkey, a pretty blond, a dinosaur, civilians, and a city. seeing this for the first time i would be curious, i would want to know more, know what exactly this image was talking about. seeing the words king kong, would make me wonder who or what is king kong. overall there seems to be a great plot somewhere, its not visible through just the image, but theres more to it, the image is deeper and pulls you in to find out more about it. right now the images shows me sort of the history of king kong, it being the first poster for the first film version, and it impresses me how its has changed yet not changed at all over the years. having seen the most recent film of king kong, and understanding the story really brings out a lot for me from the image.

The majority of the color was a combination of light/dark green and yellow. these colors brought excitement and curiousity to me. made me wonder yet have a sense of suspense and action. the bottom right corner has a circular picture with people with scared expresions pointing towards king kong, the background is red, which lets me know its scary or intense emotion its bringing out, sort of a foreshadowing of events.

The first image to grab me is the giant monkey with the blonde in his hand. i see it first and notice the vintage feeling it brings with it. next comes the enlarged text of the words KING KONG let me feel the intensity of the image. next i see the dinosaur and king kong fighting, which portrays some of the scenes within the film. then the setting the in the city lets me know where action takes place.

this image trys to make me feel the excitement and story plot of the film. knowing its history and poularity, i know that its a great work.
