Here is a movie poster called 'Gamer'. It has been created in block, red capitals. This stands out against background which is a black and white, close-up photograph of a man's face. In the middle of his face, there is a crack revealing part of another face, as though it is trapped inside. There are shadows on the side of his face, showing evidence of low lighting. The part of the face that appears to be trapped in the man's face, is in colour, contrasting with the main image of the man, suggesting winner's and losers. The man has a serious face expression on his face, whereas the person who looks trapped inside the face looks helpless and lost. The audience are not able to see the trapped person's complete identity creating suspicion.The main actor's name has been written in block red capitals at the top of the poster. This also stands out against the background, which suggests this is a main focus of the whole film poster.
I chose to analyse this poster, as I liked the way the person has been illustrated to be trapped in some sort of crack, and felt it links in with our thriller concept as it creates a sense of being captured or trapped.
Here is another film poster that I feel is simple yet so effective. The title of the film 'Identity', and the main image on the poster is of a hand print that has been made up of 5 people's smudged figures. The palm of the hand print is of half a person's face looking shocked. The bottom part of the hand has been made up of a blood stain. The audience are unable to see the 5 figures, identity's which creates mystery and uncertainty. The hand print may be a victim. At the top of the poster, it has a short, simple slogan. 'Identity is a secret. Identity is a mystery.' which suggest the reason for blacking out the faces of the people.'Identity is a killer' which would explain the blood stains. The background is white, suggesting innocence.
