Evaluation Of Our Thriller Advertisement Poster

There were several problems whilst creating our thriller film poster which has led to us not being able to produce it to the standard we would have originally wished to. These problems were mainly the software crashing.
However, we did manage to create a product which is effective for our project. We managed to follow some of the main conventions of a thriller poster, as well as including some features which make it individual. We based our poster around a photo from our opening sequence, which is the first scene that is shown in our film. This picture creates a very good impression, portraying the genre through simply the mise-en-scene. We chose to use white as the colour for all the text on our poster, as it contrasts and stands out against the dark background. The film title is in quite large writing, following the tag line which signifies several questionable themes which could occur in the film, as well as being narrative to the film. We also included the main participants to the film, which we left until the bottom of the page as we felt that the audience would engage more with the tag line followed by the title before reading the names, although they can still identify famous people involved in the film. We also included the classification next to the film title, as we felt that the poster itself did not make this obvious enough.
One main feature has been missed off of the poster this is the release date so if we were to do this again it would be something we would include.
If we had got the opportunity to create this poster again, we would have included a few of the actors, maybe as shadows, lightly over the photo, as well as include the release date, or 'coming soon', to give the audience more information on the film itself. We would also try to make the classification more obvious.
