Film Poster Ideas

These are film posters I found that have some aspects we want to include in our own film poster. 'Eagle Eye' features the two main characters, a man and a woman looking in opposite directions, which is what we may want to include in ours to portray the relationship between the two characters. By also using a tagline such as 'If you want to live, you will obey', this creates intrigue from the audience as to what the film is about.
'The Ruins' doesn't include a picture of any particular character, but does portray something significant to do with the film, which may be something we will use as we don't want to give much away about the characters, so we could use some symbolism such as an over the shoulder shot of a hand on somebody's back. This could help to create mystery about the film and draw the audience in.
'Afterlife' includes a long shot of a man standing over a dead body and the background is very dark, with a bright light shining over him to draw attention from the audience and keep the focus on that character. The tagline used is 'Life is the symptom, death is the cure' which provides the audience with an insight into what the film may be about but doesn't give much else away.
'I'm Not There' uses a silhouette of the main character and includes the actors that star in the film over the top of the outline. The layout is very simple, but also effective as the audience will know who the character is meant to be and the line used after the list of actors is 'Are all Bob Dylan', which is highlighted to stand out to the audience and inform them that this is who the film is about. A tagline is not used as it is not really needed to draw the audience in as they already know that the film will be about Bob Dylan.
