RESEARCH: Film Poster Analysis

Hannah has been working on analysing thriller film posters:





The main conventions of a thriller poster
  • A dark setting/dark background of the poster
  • Sense of enigma, not much given away
  • A list of the companies and people involved in the film
  • An uncluttered look. One main character and some of the setting
  • Shows some of the directors other films
  • Well known actor’s names are highlighted for emphasis
  • The colour red is used a lot
  • A play on good and evil e.g. a child shrouded in darkness, a white face on a black background
  • The title is the biggest text on the poster
  • The title is normally at the bottom end of the page
