Men In Black II DVD Cover & Movie poster

Here, black and white are the key contrast here, keeping in with the idea of Men In "Black", it was an obvious addition to make the colour black the main theme, and white is the main contrast of this. Silver and chrome are then used on weapons to compliment both the white and the black, as it can be considered the halve way point between the two, and helps to blend the two colours together. Using chrome and silver also makes the cover seem more futuristic, a key idea that needs to be portrayed as it is a key characteristics of the film. The cover utilises space, by creating a minimalistic design, creates the illusion of space, and therefore, the future.

The movie poster is similar to that of the DVD cover in terms of the major characters. The 2 main characters are shown exactly the same as they are on the DVD cover, however, additional characters where added onto the DVD cover to fill blank space. Here, white space is used effectively to show the emptiness of the characters, as their whole life is about the job. Alternatively, it could be considered that the DVD reused images from the movie posters, as the DVD was released a significant amount of time after the movie release, meaning that stock photographs had to be used.
