Film Posters Research

In order to create an effective film poster, we have to use conventions of the thriller genre. To begin our research, we looked at film posters online with the thriller genre and note down the convention they all similarly use.





















We focused on our attention to these three posters and were the source of our research. We recognised that...

• Protagonist is framed near the middle
• No characters look straight at the camera
• Movie title is very big and is placed near the bottom
• Names of famous actors included
• Release date is placed at the very bottom
