I have gone back to researching film posters to get some design ideas that are specific to our genre. The thing that stands out most is that these posters tend to feature a close up of the main character looking scared / vulnerable. We will also want to feature some other key narrative moments like the murder scene, the tattoo / watch that gives the murderer away etc, and I have tried to include these in my sketch:
Use of shadow / silhouette in the background - something we can use?
Focus on carefully-lit, vulnerable female face
Unusual composition and a lot of text. This is more the facial expression we should aim for.
Again, a shadowy figure. The red makes a good accent colour. We are thinking of using that for our title.
If we decide to put photos of the suspects on the poster, this could be quite a striking format.
Both of these posters split their space into thirds. The title uses a glowing font, something we haven't considered. This kind of style enables us to convey more narrative.
Very simple but effective. Again, good lighting is key.

We have started talking about the title being a key part of the research as seen in Katherine's posts, and this sketch is trying to use ideas from above while making the title key.
