This poster has the three names in bold which shows that they are the main characters in the film. Colin Firth is a famous actor and he acts as the king which could persuade people to watch the film. The colours in the poster, for example the costumes the two actors on the poster are wearing is black, which is a dull colour and also suggests that the two characters have a dark side and secret to them that will be revealed in the film. Also, the colour outside is natural light which contrasts with the dark colour we get on the inside from what the two characters are wearing.
The statement 'Like all great films it simply fills you with joy' is a cliché because everyone knows that most films fill you with joy, but it can also be used sarcastically because not all films are filled with joy as they might be a tragedy or romantic genre film.
The costumes gives us an idea that Colin Firth, on the left could be the king because his costume is elegant and the way he stands as well shows that he is high class because he looks fearless, dominant and powerful as he has got his head held high and he looks straight at the camera which shows that he is looking at the audience/reader, whereas Geoffrey Rush is looking away from the camera which shows that he is the opposite of Colin Firth,which is fearful, and less powerful and less dominant as he looks straight into the crowd.
I think the intended audience is 15 and above because most royal people speak with grammatical words that someone under 15 would not understand.
The background shows a crowd which may suggest that the king is going to make a speech and people are gathered around to listen to him. There is a water fountain outside which connotes that it is outside a castle.
I think the genre is historical because of the fact that it is about a king, and a king is royal which goes back to many years and it teaches you about what kings can be like: arrogant and quite rude.
