We made a collage of different movie posters for the Psychological Thriller genre, as that is what our movie Think Twice will be. We chose a wide range of posters, such as from the poster for Side Effects to Inception, the colour scheme is completely different. The light colour on Side Effects could suggest a possible happy ended, or is done to show the characters faces more clearly as they all look concerned. However for Inception, the dark colour is done to show the movie is going to be suspenseful and edgy. This shows that for our movie poster, we need to think about the colour we are using for the majority of our poster and what we want to portray. We also got a lot of inspiration from the face that through the 'Before I Go To Sleep', 'Shutter Island' and 'Case 39', all posters add a lot of emphasis on face expressions, especially focusing on the wide eyes and eyebrows and what image that creates. For Shutter Island, it shows he is confused and weary, and Case 39 shows she is scared. On the Before I Go To Sleep poster, all three characters are looking straight at the camera, and this directness shows the audience that the males are dangerous and a threat to the main woman who gives more emphasis of being worried. This has inspired us, as it gives us many ideas for our main poster with using eyes and facial expressions of one of the main character, or of all characters.
All the posters also have similar fonts, as they are all bold and follow the colours of either white or red or black. These are common colours for Psychological Thriller, and so for our poster we will either have a colour like this or we will do something different just to make our poster stand out. The camera shots for the poster range from being close ups to long shots. 'Gone Girl' and 'Shutter Island' both use extreme long shots to show the main characters body language, which could be a good idea for our movie Think Twice.
