I have taken a look at four posters of films, which come under the thriller genre and analysed them. One key factor that can be seen on all the posters is that it focuses on the main characters/protagonists. This maybe a way of informing the viewer on which character the story will be focussed upon and that following their views in the film will be key into understanding the story. The big/main stars are positioned at the front of the poster, mainly because they’re more famous or their role in the film is of high importance that wants the viewers attention. The colours on the posters have a more contrasted look to it. The bright skin colours stick out whilst the shadows atone to the black and sharpen up the image. This makes the more vibrant colours more visible and eye catching to appeal to the audience. The posters all seem to have a hidden reference to the film, such as nuclear weapons in the background.
