The poster has used mise-en-scene by using ‘smudged’ colours, this connotes that the car is travelling at a fast pace, also we can see that this is no ordinary car, it has been modified so it looks more attractive to the street racing world. Just by looking at the car it creates an entertaining feel for the audience as you can that these people are crossing the line/ they maybe fugitive or are running from the law, this stereotypical view can draw in an audience as you can see the four main characters. The two men have a soldier look to them, they do not seem to show fear from the law as there is also a police car behind the modified car which also connotes that this is a fugitive/action film. Also there are two women behind the two main characters, this infers that they are the two people who support the two men.
As this is the first of the ‘Fast & Furious’ collection people do not know what to expect from the film, but by the editor inserting the names of the famous actors into the poster such as ‘Vin Diesel’ who normally does action films, they will want to watch this as they may interpret that this is also an action movie.
All text written is angled diagonally, which gives an impression of action and crime, which might reflect in the film. This is what the audience may be expecting.
In the image there is a medium shot of the car with the police car at the back, this is used because then the audience can get to know the film before they have actually watched it. As most of the street racing action takes place at night, the person who made the poster reflects this upon putting the four main characters in the black background. This implies that the racing is also taking place at night as the streets in the poster are a bit dark. Furthermore a close-up picture is taken of the main characters this shows that they are actually the main people in the film. There is a contrast in light and dark in the poster. This is because low key lighting is used and adds mystery to the poster. The contrast is of light is the bright white lighted writing and contrasts with the dark sky/background. The main writing is lighted up in bright white like it is the same as the headlamps of a car this shows that it is related to a film in the car industry.
