The colours in this poster are very dark and moody, creating quite a scary atmosphere, something that we may incorporate in our own poster. With red the only real stand out colour, this colour is one of anger and sometimes blood, so it could have connotations that something bad is going to happen.
The main foucs of the poster is the star, Leonardo DiCaprio, this could be the poster's USP, because he is a very well known actor.
This poster of Shutter Island shows how there is something going on. Thriller films are all about the unknown, building suspense and tension. The way that the actor is looking out the corner of his eye assumes there is something sinister going on and that he may have to watch his back.
The lit match is important for the image because it gives an illusion that he may be going through a dark place and needs that light. This fire contrasts with the rain in the background of the image. On the lower part of the image there is an island, it seems as though there is no happiness or light at all on this island. It looks very scary and not somewhere you would want to be trapped. The wording on the poster is very simple but leaves a huge impact to the onlooker, 'someone is missing.' this makes the onlooker and potential viewer of the film intrigued into what this film is about and how someone could be missing and if they are going to find them.
This poster is very effective because there is a great deal going on but the main focus is the actor, and his expression meets the genre conventions, of mystery and concern. The tones of the poster appeal to an audeince who like the actor but also like a film that makes you think but at the same time quite scared.
This poster for Disturbia is quite simple, just black and white. The binoculars are the only source of colour on the whole poster, this is significant because you can see what is inside the lenses. A girl looking very scared in the foreground and a shadow of a man holding a knife in the background. This is quite a haunting image. It shows how the main character is the observer of it all, leaving the question of will he be able to save the girl who looks like she's in danger. At the bottom of the image is some houses, this looks like a neighbourhood, meaning that the main character is looking over all of the neighbourhood. His face is very white contrasting with the black background, this is a good effect, it is very simple but engaging at the same time.
The tagline is very effective because it gives the audience something to think about when reading it, 'every killer lives next door to someone' it is quite long but sends a message to the audience about where they live. As they do not mention the actor it seems as though he is not very well known, because normally with film posters the actor can be used as a USP. They are taking a risk with this poster by not including names.
The intended audience could be a younger adult, purely because the two charcters that ar ehsown in this poster seem to be around the age of 17/18, so poeple that age may be more prone to see it.
This is a very effective poster because it meets the conventions of a thriller poster, with the dark colours and the rather scary image in the binoculars showing something bad is going on.
This is the poster for the movie Salt, it is again simple with only her face as the image. There is darkness all around her apart from her face, this insinuates that the film is all about her. The word 'salt' seems to be planted on her face, as if it is a label that she has and upholds in the movie. It says the starring role, Angelina Jolie and no other names meaning that she really is the main character. She is defiently the USP of the poster, this is because she is a very well known and popluar actress so for the fil to be all abou ther would most likely excite the audience to go see it. Towards the bottom of the poster there is a question, 'who is salt?' this is engaging and would make the onlookers and potential audience want to know the answer to this question.
The intended audience could be someone of their mid to late 20s. This may be because of the actress and who her market could be.
This poster is not very effcetive because it is very simple, and you don't know a great deal about what it could be about, leaving the potential audience wondering what it is about.
