The picture shown in the movie is three captains walking out to the middle of the field for a coin toss before a game.  The movie poster is from the movie Friday Night Lights.  I chose this movie because I love football.  This movie is relatable because it teaches you that you should be humble about the situation that you are going through and never give up.  The movie poster has a sense that conveys perseverance.  By observing the layout of the poster and watching the movie we can find deeper meaning in the illustration.  

Perseverance is first displayed when we look at the composition of the poster.  The main figures are the crowd, three football players, lights, and the green grass.  Out of all the components the football players stand out the most.  The artist of this poster left out the rest of the football team.  As a viewer, the three players posted in the poster are the team captains or leaders.  The poster sets an exciting scene for someone that loves football or just loves sports.  Another element that is being conveyed is the text at the top of the poster.  The text states, “One of The Greatest Sport Movies Ever Made”.  As somebody who is into sports that could be one thing that really draws your attention as well.  The focal point that jumps out to me is the title of the movie.  The title jumps out to me because while playing high school football you always played on Friday nights.  On Friday nights as a high school football player you an adrenaline rush knowing you have a game and also get the show everybody what you are capable of doing on the football field.  

Color is another element in the poster that helps the audience find deeper meaning.  The colors that are being used is white, green, grey, black, and orange.  The meaning for the color white was the lights and if it is white in the light that shows that it is a night game.  Green is setting the time frame for the football game that is about to begin being played.  Black and white shows the color of the uniform which signifies a sense of unity.  The color orange was to draw your attention to what the movie was based on and it talks about the setting knowing it was on a Friday night.  The crowd was in the color grey and that shows that there were more than a few people attending the football game.  The crowd in the stands shows that it is an important game.

The way light is used in the picture helps give it more meaning.  The light is shining on the middle of the field where the three players are walking to.  Everything in the background of the players was dark and that gives you another sign that the three players are very important.  Football can be symbolic throughout the family.  Knowing that your whole family has played football you would want to try it out yourself to see if you actually like it because it is a cultural thing.  Football is also symbolic of a greater community which involves the high school and the players that are playing football.  Even if their children do not play football, the whole community shows up and attends the football games on Friday nights.  Football is not just sport; it is more than that because it brings people together.  Another way football is symbolic is because you have to know how to be a team player and it transfers throughout your life as well.  

Perseverance is present in the movie and the poster.  Ethos, Logos, and Pathos gives us evidence of this.  Football players have characteristic to prove that they have perseverance.  Football players value their future because they work so hard and that shows both on the field and off the field.  Working hard, being a team player, listening, learning, not arguing with referees all show that they have good character.  Logos is another piece of evidence that shows perseverance.  Being a good football player just does not happen overnight.  There is so much you go through becoming a good football player.  On top of going to practice, they have to do extra work, battle through injuries, study, and also work hard in the classroom. Doing all these aspects shows that the player is determined to have the future outcome that he wants to have.  Pathos is another piece of evidence that shows perseverance.  Both the football players and the audience get an adrenaline rush before the game is started.  The crowd get invested in the game because they can be supporting their child or loved one.  By being so invested in the game, the person yelling in the crowd wants the best for their child or loved one.  The reason that this is so relatable is because you care about them and you want them to succeed.  

Football is so important in my life because it bring you closer to people that you wouldn’t know about if you were not playing the sport.  Also, playing the sport of football teaches you to never give up because you never know when your time is coming.  In the movie they face many challenges as a team.  The team goal was to make it to the state championship game and they did.  The team faced a lot of adversity because their star player got hurt in the first game and they were depending on him to take them to the state championship.  Through determination and not giving up the team was still able to make it.  As a viewer looking at the cover of the movie we see that the three captains are working together to be a team.  The filmic and visual elements proved that the movie poster conveys perseverance.
