Rule of thirds poster analysis

The rule of thirds is applied by aligning an image or subject with the guide lines and their crossing points, placing the horizon on the top or bottom line, or allowing some features in the image to flow from section to section.

The image tries to get you focusing on this man, showing his power too due to the fact that he is high up on the poster. Bottom right shows a man with a target sign on him. From this, we can tell that the film will be about the man in the top left trying to catch the guy in the bottom left. As well as this, we know that the top left man has power over the other man as he is higher up than him.

His eyes are in the top left square of the grid, which shows that the maker of the poster is trying to catch your attention by looking into the mans glazing eyes. The man in the background is significantly smaller than the...
