Poster Research- Kris English




I have been looking at different film poster that belong to the same genre as our film. I have discoverd that most all offer the same information on the page as each other. As you can see these three film posters look very similar. Firstly, all three have the two main characters placed on the front in plain view. Secondly, there is very little information on the covers. All we see is a title, the names of the actors and a tag line. None of this gives away any information regarding the storyline or the events that will happen. These types of films tend to try and keep a very closed narrative and this idea is helped through the use of these posters revealing very little. The colour scheme used on these types of films can vary. For example, if you look at 'P.S I Love You' and 'Titanic' you can see that they have gone for mainly white with very little other colours, this shows that these films promote values like innocence and romance. Whereas 'The Time Travellers Wife' has a lot of bright vibrant colours like purple and gold which suggest it will be more of a film which gives off feelings of passion and excitment.
All of these posters are more or less the same, this is why i will carry these ideas through with me when i come to make my poster. I will keep the design simple and have a very basic colour scheme like white and red. Not only will this help deliver the genre of our film, it will also not bombard the person looking at it with tonnes of information and over vibrant colours.
