Further Research Into Film Posters - Katherine

Here I have annotated film posters and taken screenshots of the finished work.

These posters are in different genres. I chose the romantic posters because even though our film is a psychological thriller, I really want our poster to be all about emotion and not action. This is because we are appealing to a wide target audience and I want the female audience in particular to be clear that this film has emotional drama as well as being packed with thrills. Obviously our film is not about romance but I was wondering if we could adapt the romantic poses to more chilling ones.

I picked This Is England because it is a really unusual poster where the title of the film is almost more important than the image. The large cast, ensuring no one character really stands out, adds to this - it makes it seem that this film is about a wide social group rather than individuals. I think the title of our film, Sleepless, is really effective in setting up questions and conveying our genre, and I am wondering if it should have a more prominent place in the poster than you might expect.
