FILM POSTER RESEARCH

Here I have chosen some film posters that have been used for films that are already out.

The style of these posters I feel fits in well with the theme of our film and I aim to make something that ties in all of

the typical conventions of film posters.

- eye catching title, (and depending on the genre) bright, colourful, bold, stands out from the background

- persuasive language through the use of reviews or taglines to draw people in and make them want to see the

film

- promotional features like actors’ name, director, reviews etc

- possibly use the rule of thirds as a format to draw the viewers eye were you want it to be on the poster

- usually one predominant image

- important to correctly represent the genre of the film to attract the right audience

CONVENTIONS OF A FILM POSTER

I like the use of red in these posters as it connotes the danger, lust and love that you would expect to be in these films after viewing their posters.

I like the use of the lips on this poster and I think that this may be an idea I can bring in to my poster.

I think the set up for the red riding hood poster is good as it is simple and clean and draws you in. I will take ideas from this into my own poster.

I like the darkness in these posters as I creates an eary and dramatic feel to the posters. You know that these films are going to be thrillers by looking at the posters.

IDEAS FOR MY FILM POSTER
