We decided to analyse a film poster as one of our tasks is to create one ourselves for our thriller. I chose The Dark Knight poster as it’s quite an easy poster to analyse. There is a big picture of one of the main characters, The Joker, the known actor being Heath Ledger. A picture of a famous actor is usually the most common to be seen on a poster. This sells the film to the audience as they know a big star is going to be in the film. Although there are no stars in our film, we will have the main character on our poster and make it somewhat dark to show it’s a thriller.
Most posters have comments from newspapers and the title usually at the bottom with a date on the release of the film. As ours is not going to be at the cinema, we are unable to get newspaper reviews but can get feedback and reviews from students in our school and possibly use those comments on our film poster. The film poster usually has around 3-5 knows names which are in the film. We are going to use this idea to put all of our names on the poster to show who is staring, editing and filming the thriller.
They use a blue colour code to show that it’s a thriller. A blue with a scary face shows the genre, but also other colours can such as red and black. We plan to use a black background and this way it portrays the fact that our film is going to be dark / thrilling.
