Poster Analysis

I Have Analysed Two Movie Posters, Saw IV, And A Nightmare On Elm Street. I Have Chosen These Two Films, As They Are Both Similar To The Film I Shall Create The Trailer For.




From Analysing These Posters, What They Have In Common Are:


  • The same style title, in a red colour
  • Credits
  • A Slogan
  • A Creepy Image
  • Film Companies

I Will Use These In My Posters, To Make My Movie Poster Like Professional Ones.

I Will Also Use The Idea Of Dark Colours And The Release Date From The Saw IV Poster, And The Idea Of The Directors Name From The A Nightmare On Elm Street Poster, As This Will Help My Poster Look More Professional.





Horror Movie Posters

These Are Some Of The Posters That I Have Looked At As Research.




Horror Movie Posters

First I started looking at horror movie posters, and started to look at what they had in common, so I could follow it for my poster.

The things I noticed that they had in common are:


  • Red text
  • Dark colours
  • An uncomfortable image
  • A rough looking font
  • A black background
  • A slogan
  • Credits
  • Release dates.
From looking at these, these are what I need to make sure that my movie poster has.

My Brief

What I have been asked to do is create a movie trailer, a magazine cover, and a poster for the film.
My chosen genre is horror, as I find it an interesting genre, and you can get some really good storylines in horror films.
