  The shot type used is medium long shot. They have used this shot so the audience can see the characters clothes and any other props that may be in their hands. Mise-en-scene: The clothes he is wearing shows me that he will be in a dangerous environment as his clothes look like they have a lot of protective gear on. In his hand the man has a helmet (props) the helmet is similar to his clothes as it looks like its supposed to protects him.  In the background there is a jet so it will probably be an action movie with lots of moving around. His facial expression is very serious so it won't necessarily be a kids film with laughing and jokes.  The font tells me that its a bold movie as the font of the heading is bold. These all tell me that this is going to be an action movie about saving people or other things as every thing is serious.
