Analysis of Film Posters

Wehn researching into film posters I found two different types of film posters; theatrical and teaser. I also found out the key conventions of each of these film posters, I then created word clouds to show what I think are the key conventions of film posters.

Conventions of a Teaser Poster
Conventions of a Theatrical Poster






After researching into film posters and what I think are the key conventions that a film poster should have, in order for the poster to sell and promote the film to its audience. I found film posters that had bother teaser and theatrical and have analysed each type of poster for the films.


For analysising film posters I chose 'American Hustle' and 'The Hobbit', both of these films had multiple teaser and theatrical poster I chose the ones i thought represented the key conventinos best.

American Hustle


The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug





This is my practice for creating a film poster for a new film.


 
I created a practice film poster to get a better understanding of how to construct a film poster. Creating a practive poster helped me to develope my understanding of certain photoshop processes and discover new techniques that I can apply to my film poster when I create it. For example through making this parctice poster I learnt how to use the gradient effect to fade out images, also I was able to experiment with positioning of images, headline and text so that when it comes to creating my own film poster I know what works best and what doesnt work so well. Whe nit comes to making my own film poster the practive poster will inflcuence my ideas as I will folow the typical convetinos of a film poster. 



Psychological Film Posters 

Afetr looking at a range of film posters I chose to look at Psychological film posters, as I felt this would help me find ideas and give my inspiration when it comes to creating my own film poster. 

I created a mood board to show the varying types of Psychological film posters, what they each have in common and what conventions they each follow.
