FILM POSTER DECONSTRUCTIONS
In terms of designing our film poster, we decided to first research existing examples that were of our genre. Typing in 'Psychological Thriller/Horror' made it clear that the main focus on the film posters are of the face/human body. Here are two main examples that stood out for me, that we can definitely take inspiration from for our own film poster.
- The prominent colour to this poster, and most of the posters within our film genre, is black/dark grey/white. This makes any bold colours (in this case red) stand out and become the focal point to the audience. Red in this case, especially as it is linked to the female, infers danger and passion to the audience, so anyone intrigued by what that would entail in the film can find out by watching it.
- The couple take up the majority of the poster, highlighting that they will be the main part of the film.
- A catchy/interesting tagline is found at the top of the poster to draw attention and make the audience wonder what the film will be about- it makes them think.
- There is a compelling nature as the intriguing light surrounding them, as well as the bold title, draws people in.
- Again, the prominent colours found are dark blacks/greys/greys, which is evidently the most used colours for our film genre.
- The face is the focal point- telling the audience who the main character is, making them aware of the film's 'trademark' and therefore making the film more recognisable.
- The unsettling typography and reviews provide an ominous and eerie tone, highlighting the emotions the audience will endure whilst watching the film.
- A tagline is also found in this poster at the bottom of the poster this time, both placing are still as effective.
