What I have learnt from analysing film posters

From analysing film posters it has helped to establish many of the conventions which are used for posters for then for me to able to go on to create my own.
- The picture is always relevant to the film itself, always seems intriguing and the genre itself comes across well from the picture which is an important part. The pictures seem dark and gloomy to give off a good effect on the thriller/horror genre which suggests it's going to be full of thrill.
- There is always a tag line on a poster to generate the hype for the film which is there to catch the audiences eye and for them to be persuaded into seeing the film.
- The text on film posters usually contains the film title in large lettering and often the names of the main actors. It may also include  the name of the director, names of characters, the release date, etc to bring a huge awareness to the film itself.
- A graphic/ thrilling picture for the audience to immeditately tell it will a horror film which is I will create in my film poster.
