Film Poster Analysis



Trainspotting - This is the first film poster that we decided to analyze. Although it does not use themes that are closely related to our film, certain aspects are similar. We decided to analyze this poster because we thought that it looked simple, yet eye catching. The use of character images used on the poster give the audience an idea as to the genre and theme of the film. The film title is clear and stands out from the poster, also, the usual credits are displayed along the bottom. Cherrybomb - This is the second film poster that we have chosen to analyze. The film itself is very similar to ours. It has a similar storyline and themes, such as teen characters, moving away, and a drama genre. Like the Trainspotting poster, this also has a very good use of typography, which makes the title stand out and look clear. The clear use of the colour red on the poster is bright and eye catching, and also relates to the film title. Again, this poster uses character images, which seems to be the main focus of drama film posters, so we would need to think about incorporating this into out own film posters. Welcome to the Rileys - This is the third film poster we have decided to analyze. Like Cherrybomb, this film contains many themes that are similar to our film, such as running away and a teenage cast. Once again, the film title seems to be the most eye catching part of the poster itself. It is bold, easy to read, and clearly tells the audience the title of the film. The image used in this poster is also of a lead character in the film. The image looks as though it could be a still shot from the film, which we believe is a good way of telling the audience the style of the film.
