Subsidiary Task - Poster Research

Conventions of horror/film noir posters:

From looking at these posters I have found that there seems to be a common theme on the colors of blacks, whites and reds. Most of the posters also seem to have their image as a close up of a person or body part. The image itself seems to be suggestive of themes in the film itself. Also a couple of the posters included a slogan which suggests themes. There does not seem to be a convention on the placing of text but the film title is generally the largest piece of text on the poster. Also text is mostly kept to a minimum.

Specification for poster

- Must use the colors black and white and other dark colors.
- Must have a close up image shot.
- The film title must be the largest text on the screen.
- The text must use a contrasting color to the background.
