I never noticed before but these three posters can be analyzed by the size and place of the characters.
In “The Fellowship of the ring” poster the dominating (front and largest) is Frodo since in this movie it is all about him. Next are Gandalf and Aragorn standing behind the hobbit as guardians; and further on the rest of the fellowship. Arwen is beside Aragorn because of their relationship but Galadriel is above them all – dressed in white as the symbol of good and pure. The opposite to her are the Nazguls – beneath them as a black, scary cloud.
“The Two Towers” poster is different with the fact that actually the dominating image is of the Sauron tower. Because in the second movie the Bad side start to show its power. But none of the characters are actually dominant because in “The Two Towers” several stories are told parallel each other and all of them are important. In this poster is also Eowyn who is standing between Aragon and Arwen symbolizing that she in a way messes with their relationship.
The dominant character in “The Return of the King” movie and poster is Aragon. But Frodo is still in front and the rest are “guarding his back” as it is in the movie as well. Even Gollum is on this poster in front because he has important role to play in events of third movie. But behind them in the distance is Sauron – always looming and being constant reminder of the danger.
