Film poster research.

-What I like about this poster is that the face has not been shown, it makes the viewer want to watch the film to know what his face looks like. It's like a cliffhanger but in picture form. The layout on this poster is my favourite out of the three, yours eyes are set on the picture first then you follow down to the title. I like that all the text is one area so there is not too much going on, I want to avoid our poster looking similar to a magazine front cover. The red edited into the picture matches the title perfectly, I like that all the main features are the same colour, so you can easily ignore the white parts if you wanted.
- I wanted to analyse this poster as the mirror idea is similar to the idea we used in the trailer with the mirror trick. I think using a mirror in the poster would suit our trailer and people would recognise the poster from the trailer, or the other way round. On the other hand I think more simple posters are more effective in wider range of places and this poster has a lot going on, including the fact the text is in two different areas.
- Although this poster is extremely simple, it works really well as your main focus is drawn towards the characters and what they are wearing. The title is clear and matches the picture well, I would like to achieve something that is this effective with a low budget. The actor/actresses names being above them introduces them well and is important to include in a poster as people are more tempted to watch a film if they know and like the actor or actress in it.
