MOVIE POSTERS
NERVE
Title of the film is
backwards which is
different from
normal posters. This
is because the film is
technology based
and it creates the
illusion that the
character is looking
at a computer
screen.
The actress who
plays the main
character is on the
front of the poster.
She is used so that
audiences get a hint
of who is in the film
and Emma Roberts
is quite a big actress
which could make
people want to see
the film.
The colour palette of the
poster is neon pinks and
greens which reflect the
technological theme.
The release date is a key
feature of movie posters so
audience’s know when they
can go and see the film.
Reference to the film is
used as a tagline. Draws
attention to possible plot.
THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN
Reference to the film is
used as a tagline. Catchy
and makes the audience
ask questions – what could
it mean?
Release date so
audiences know when
they can go and see the
film.
Title of the film is a lot
smaller than it usually is
on movie posters, but it
being small and with a
ghost like font adds to
the mystery that is one
of the films key themes.
Colour palette is dark to
connote the genre. Blacks
and Whites are simple with
splash of red which
connotes danger.
Have not used the main
characters face on the
poster which is unusual –
instead using the back of
her and created a train
using her zip and train to
show the plot lines in the
film.
Letting the audience know
that it has already been a
successful book to
encourage them to watch it.
