  silhouetted image which has been used adds a element of the
  unknown to the telling of the story from the way the film
  poster has been put together.

feature films from the action genre.

poster is not using the names of the actors and crew for the
film but they have used the date of release at a film festival this

  poster but them seem to have less information on them E.G. the date of
  release and format of the film such as IMAX or 3D. There is an acceptance
  to the rule with the Beyond Black Mesa poster where they have given a
  festival date.
• They also are very simple compared to feature length posters using one
  or two characters which are the main focus of the poster it is clear they
  are the main character/s
• They also have the general information which would be expected on a
  poster the name of the film, a production company, the director/s names
  and the actors name . This is generic information which is needed for the
  poster.
• The posters also give small clues of the film with the props or the way the
  character is standing, the genre of the film can also be seen with the fonts
  used.
