Some conventions of a thriller poster.

Me and my group have decided for our movie trailer we are going to do the genre- thriller. We had some trouble at first trying to think of a genre we all wanted to do, we were going to do a tragedy film but we couldn’t decide on the plot. So instead we thought of an idea for a thriller.

We started to research thriller posters so we could list all the similarities in different posters. We noticed that the colour scheme all the posters had was black, blue and red. Most of the film posters are set at night or against a black background- with the exception of a few.

We also noticed that some Thriller film posters have just the main character, the title and the people who are going to star in the film. Take for example the movie poster 'Salt' and '23'. They both have a profile picture of the main person looking serious. They both have the actors name written across the top and in salt there is a watermark across Angelina Jolies face saying 'Salt'. They both also have tag lines. We haven’t completely decided what we are going to have on out movie poster but we do want a picture of the main character and maybe something that will incorporate with our trailers title.
