Week 1 - Thriller Poster Aspects

Typical film poster aspects :

1. Actors names

2. Studio credits

3. Date of release

4. Age certificate

Here is an example of actors names displayed in film posters :

"Shutter Island" (2010)

Actors names are usually placed at the top or right in the centre, the reason why this is, is to clearly show the audience who is in the film

Here is an example of Studio credits :

Studio credits help inform the audience on the actors and the roles that they have played

Studio credits also tell the audience the names of the directors, producers, editors, etc.

Here is an example of a thriller film with a release date :

"The Purge" (2013)

The release date is positioned right at the bottom of the screen, some film posters decide to hide the release date, and some film posters show it off to the audience.

Here are the age certificates that are usually seen

in Thriller films :

18 and 15 are the main age certificates for a thriller film, but due to the fact that I am not 18 years old, I am going to have to pick the

15 age certificate

Overall , I want my thriller poster to be a character poster, a style similar to "US" (2019) and "Orphan" (2009), a release date that is clearly seen, a tagline that will be at the bottom of the poster, and the actors names on top of the poster, with the age certificate being 15.
