Influential Posters

Here the images from Google which we found of the posters whic are in the same genre as ours which we found very influential.

This poster you can see the main character in very dark and suspicious clothes, this is represented through the colour of the clothes which he is wearing also that he has a hoody. In many cases hoodies have been represented or related to gang violence, murders and other criminal offences as the murder does not want to be seen and uses a hood to cover his face . by looking at the poster and looking at the colours used black and dark icy blue with white text, firstly the white text on the dark coloured background makes the text stand out which is important as the viewer who is looking at the poster must figure out what the name of the film is called if he or she wishes to go watch it. The dark colours used creates a misty confused thought as you start asking questions to yourself on the spot about who is this character what is his role in the film and what mysterious history or actions are following him. Last point is the pose which the character is standing even though his body is at a slight angle the characters face is facing the person who may be looking at the poster so this is another effect which is useful as it can draw people attention and feel as they are being watched because a good posters need to be attractive and easy to relate to.

This second poster is more to the point with the character yet still raises questions. The poster you can see again another actor who is wearing a hoody this time it is read, holding a clearly visible knife which straight away catches attention and makes the viewer realise this is a horror movie. Unlike the poster before the name of the film is in big bold letters which really stand out and are there to be seen. The red hoody has been used very cleverly as combining it with a knife it automatically gives you an image of blood related genre.

The things which each of these posters have in common are the main character on the poster so the viewers know who to look out for, the name of the film itself so viewers are able to know what the film is called, a slogan which is catchy and memorable and also very spine tingling, name of the main actors involved in the film, logos of company which has distributed or funded the film itself and also other team members role within the whole project itself.
