Movie Poster Analysis

I chose to analyse this poster for 'New Moon' because i have watched the movie, and as well as partly being a thriller, the love triangle sitaution is also present. This is represented through the stance of the three characters on this movie poster. The current boyfriend is positioned on the far left, with the jelous character in the middle attempting to seperate him from the female character. From this image alone, the audience can guess there is some sort of love triangle happening in the plot. Therefore, if we position our characters well enough, like the way we practised in the mock photos, we can portray an extremely strong message to our audience.



I chose to analyse this 'Panic Room' poster as i also analysed the film trailer, and therefore as a pair it is helpful to see how corresponding they are of one another. There is little image on the poster, as either side is taken up in a black block. This makes the main image, even more concentrated and important. The eyes stand out the most, as they are alert and full of emotion and apprehension. The black figure walking in the background is also a vital point on the poster, as it defines the thriller genre. The fact that the female character cannot see the figure builds the suspense even further.
