By doing an ancillary task for film posters, related to the genre I have chosen to make a film trailer for, I can see what I should include and where/how. The film posters I have analysed have the same or near same items on them, an image, informative text and the film name, however the majority of film trailers have more such as main actors, website and release date in big, eye catching text- knowing this I can make sure that my film poster is eye catching for the audience I am targeting- 18+ and enjoy thriller/horror’s.
I can also see what techniques are useful to know in preparation of making my film poster such as adding effects to enhance images e.g. colour correction, blurs etc.
By analysing these film posters I also can see what layouts work with each film- horrors are dark and usually “jagged” and messy to enhance the genre whilst dramas are bright and ordered.
