Both the image and the text are very strong and even to some extent they fight against each other from attention. Both of the poaster have the same layout with both men on them being in suits and the bottom of the poster the information is the same and in the same style. On the poster on the left the phrase 'God save The King' covers most of the poster and therefore shows that the film is about the monarchy and we then presume that Coling Firth is the king. from the poster with Geoffrey Rush his eyes are looking away from the camera and with previous knowledge of the film you would know his character is effectivly looking over the King.
The colours of the poster relate very much to the royal family, the blue relates the blue blood and what not, also the hint of gold in the title clealry connotes jewels and money. Finally the use of black and white in the majority of the picture connotes the formality of the film and formalness is something often related to Royals.
the poster with Coling Firth looks allot like the common 'Keep Calm and Carry On' posters that will give audiences something to relate to aswell as attract certain audiences.
from looking at the trailer for the kings speech the film is shown to appeal to audiences that are intrested in Britain and why they created a film that is so british with the royal family, but it also is appealing to those who just want to watch an interesting film about a man that can't talk.
Looking at this screen shot of the film you can see that it fits in with the style of the posters, the main person in this Helena Bonham Carter is dressed in blue of the same shade as of the poster and this does the same as the blue on the poster. She is also wearing a fur shoulder coverer and in the time that this film is set fur would have to be real and only a select few people (mainly the weathly) would be able to afford it.
The man in the background is wearing a uniform that fits in with the style of uniform that we commonly see in the present day with the royal family, even if you didnt know this the gold in his outfit fits in with the gold in the poster and adds a touch of class to the picture.
There is also glasses in the picture that are only meant for drinking at social occasions, which only rich people went to in the time the movie is set
