Analysing Film Posters

I have researched different advertising film posters that are a similar genre to my own. I will now go on to analysing the three posters taking inspiration from the posters and talking about what I think works and what I think doesn't. I can then take ideas from these posters and experiment on my own film poster.

1. This is the first poster I was inspired by which is advertising the new release of. 'Bridesmaids'. I decided to research this poster myself as I knew it was a similar genre to my own. My favourite feature of this poster is the layout as I think it is very different to other film posters and this makes it really stand out and look quite unconventional. I also like the colour scheme used and how they have used the colour of the dresses to match the writing. On the other hand, I don't think the brick background really goes well with the film genre. Although, it is conventional I don't think it is a very eye-catching background.

2. The second poster I have decided to analyse is advertising, 'Bride Wars'. Yet again the colour schemes within these film genres are mostly pink and white which is very conventional and predictable. I do like the layout of this poster and the fact it is very simple but will still catch its target audiences eye. Although, I think this poster works quite plain I think there should maybe be a slogan on the poster or a little more information to advertise the film.

 

3. I have been inspired by this, 'Valentines Day' advertising poster in the way it has been layed out. I like the idea of the love heart used as this keeps all the images in proportion so the page doesn't look to busy. I also think the love heart is different and quite unconventional. I like how because the page has been layed out in a simple and neat way that there can be quite a lot of writing on the page. Also, I like how the colour scheme is blue and pink to show the charaters are unisex and is aimed at a wider audience. Lastly, I do think that the black background is a little to much of a block colour and there should of maybe been something used to split this up.
