Movie posters

In English class, we further on discussed the different types of arguments that are commonly used. Mr.Sweeney displayed some examples of well-known movie posters so we can depict the different types attractions. being used. For example, the first poster he showed us was Sylvester Stallone's famous rocky movie. This movie came out in 1976. Mr Sweeney showed us the poster and we discussed the many ways the poster tried to attract the audience. For example, up at the top of the poster it read '' He was one-in-a-million-shot'' This shows that the character displayed on the poster was an underdog, and usually the audience roots for the underdog. Another example was the second Stallone movie entitle First Blood. His name was one of the more noticeable text coming from its size and color. We declared the type of argument as ethos because it was trying to gain credibility from the actor of the movie.
