Research Thriller Film Posters

When researching into the thriller genre some of the things I analysed were previous film posters. I connoted that a common element which most of the posters possessed were using the colour red. This was mainly used in the title of the film or on other pieces of writing for example release date etc. The colour red is denoted to represent violence, anger, death and also romance. This therefore suits our film as we have a hybrid which includes violence, anger, death and also romance. We therefore thought that we’d include this in our opening sequence. We used it on the images, on some elements of the costume and on the lighting.
Also, other times when red is used is when blood is shown on the poster. This states the obvious that the film is likely to be a thriller and therefore brings in its targeted audience.
