My Film Poster - The Last Message

From looking at my own film poster you can instantly tell that it is a psychological thriller. The poster has one main image that fills half of the poster and it is of the main actor. The main image is of Adam Marsh who portrays the role of Alex in our film. With only seeing half of his face this suggests that his could be hiding something which could comply with the films narrative. This main image could also suggest there are two sides two this man and does not always have to be negative. The different pieces of text on the poster are white and red which are typical thriller colours. With the use of these colour it kinds of gives away the genre and these colours are used on most thriller film posters. With the use of black as the background of this poster it suggests that Alex holds a lot of power and this colour could also be associated with fear. With some of the text being white however it could suggest that he is more innocent than you think. On this poster there are pieces of text that are red which again swings the mood to a more dangerous man. The title for this film is called “The Last Message” which gives the audience something to think about in terms of what that last message contains. This is what will sell our film as we do not have a well know actor. With the title font being a serif font it gives the approach that the film is more serious than you think. Below the title is the tagline which reads “How far would you go to make someone yours” which instantly involves the reader. This tagline suggests that Alex could go to extreme lengths to get what he wants. With the “someone yours” part being in read it just highlights the fact that what is actually meant by somebody being yours. The use of red here also suggests the determination of Alex to get what he needs. With there being no actor or directors name on the poster it tells the audience that they are not very well know with the title being the best chance of selling the film. As you can see “coming soon” in the middle of the poster it shows that it has been constructed in the form of a coming soon poster. It also suggests this with a date at the bottom of the poster to tell the audience how soon it is coming out. At the very bottom of the poster we have put all the information about who was involved in the film. We have used a typical diamond formation which you see on most film posters. The names include actor, director, the production team, screenplay etc. The font is a lot smaller here because it’s not the most important text on the poster.
