At the top they have the directors name. The tagline is at the bottom of the image then they have the film title underneath the tagline. Then there is small writing and the date of the film is a bit bigger then the smaller writing.

Font: The title of the film looks old and broken like the abandoned city.

Tagline: “Ten years ago, the Ukrainian government let tourists visit the area around Chernobyl. They said it was safe... It wasn’t.”

On the poster they have you used the biohazard symbol because it is linked to the film so it if people haven’t seen the trailer then that symbol would give them a clue on what the film is about. They also the font that looks all and run down which is linked to the film as the place they go to is abandoned and over grown.
