Poster Research

With our main genre being thriller and a sub genre of some action.

I have looked at some ideas of film posters on youtube for our own, I have analysed the following:

The characters give a very cold, dark scary glare, looking straight down the camera lens giving the impression to the audience that the film is going to be tense and frightful, we would wish to create the same effect for our own.

The graphology of the poster uses very dark colours including, dark blue; red, with connotes blood, terror to the audience and extreme use of a intense dark black colour. This allows the audience to use there own imaginations because you don't know whats lurking in the dark, it could be anything. It also gives connotations of fear and suspense. We wish to utilise this in our own production.

The composition of the characters on the poster seem mainly central to show the overall mis-en-scense of the film.

In the film poster 'phone booth' the title is in a lighter bolder blue font, suggesting the genre of action. This seems a clever idea of mixing two elements of action and thriller together.

Every film poster I have noticed has a quick tense tagline to give a clue of what the plot of the film is going to be.

They have a release date the distribution company's name and credentials to the production team, directors and actors for example.
