Planning- Space and Techno Thriller

Space and Technology Thriller 

This type of genre is a type of science fiction thriller, the type of characters that are in this genre is usually aliens and robots.
 In this type of genre there is a lot of advanced technology that isn't around today, also what usually happens in this type of genre is technology usually fights back and this is what makes a space and techno thriller.

This poster represents the space and technology thriller through its use of images, lighting and text.
 First the images that are used of the characters, you can see that the main character is the main subject in the poster so we soon know that he will most likely be the hero in this movie, he is also holding some type of gun, linking with the genre showing how some things that are not around today are used in this movie, showing that its set in the future.
 The lighting here is dark, probably representing space as there is stars on top of the darkness.
 The text is the last thing that links in with this poster, the type here is linking in as it looks futuristic and the colour probably represents blood, showing that there might be some kind of killing in this film.

Planning- Torture porn


Torture Porn


Here, is the poster that was used when analysing  the horror poster of Saw. Saw has the sub-genre of horror thriller. It contains aspects of horror thriller. The main character has an unsettling mindset, which could therefore give the viewer an idea that the film may be gory or gruesome. The poster however, we can see decaying limbs. They have lost their flesh-like color which could portray the loss of blood, therefore representing death. Further analysis shows that the toes on the decaying foot look severed. 

The use of a white background could represent cleanliness and purity.The white background also makes the limbs a main focal point. At the top of the poster, we can see a picture of a saw. This is a clear indication and representation of the film name. As a viewer, we can only suggest that the saw is the weapon that is used to sever its victims. The title 'Saw' is slightly off-center and is in a deep red font. Almost like its representing blood. The lines or slashes that run through and around the title look like cuts that may be inflicted on its victims. Overall from this poster we can see a clear indication of decapitation and death. We can see that it relates to the genre horror and can only suggest that it is going to be very gruesome due to the extremity of the pictures incorporated.

Psychological Thriller


Psychological Thriller

psychological thrillers have a twist to the common thriller, instead of the conflict being physical, it is mental and emotional. it is the main character that usually suffers through this type of conflict, and it messes with the audiences mind. This poster is an example of a psychological thriller film. the sixth sense posters colours are very dark, black to be precise. The black represents that there may be some dark times in the film, maybe some flash backs to show why the two characters are in conflict within each other. The main characters face seems to be showing a lot of emotion as he looks confused or even as he has seen his enemy that he is in conflict with. There seems to be a lot a light on his face, maybe this represents that he is not the antagonist in this psychological thriller film.





Planning- Erotic Thrillers

Erotic Thrillers 

The female usually plays the antagonist, she also uses power to exert power and is usually crazy. Also the stereo type that is used a lot in this type of genre is sexual objectification.

This poster links with the genre erotic thriller because of the characters costume, the lighting and the text.
 First the costume as you can tell you can see a lot of the characters are showing skin and you can also see that their all women so immediately they are being sexually objectified because of them showing skin. 
 The text here also links in as it is curvy bold, kind of like the women in the picture linking in with this genre.
 The last thing that links in with the genre is the lighting you can see the women being highlighted everything else is dark, showing how this movie will be dark and most likely thrilling linking with the genre, the women at the front is highlighted the most showing us that she must be the main character, knowing that the female is usually crazy and in power we assume that she must be as this is a erotic thriller.

Planning- Crime Thriller

Crime Thriller    This particular genre is a hybrid type of both crime films and thrillers that offers a suspenseful or failed crime or crimes. Crime thrillers usually emphasise action over psychological action. Main things that happen in a crime thriller are: murders, robbery, chases and shoot outs.

 This poster represents the crime thriller as the use of colour the props and text all link to the crime thriller.
 The colour on this poster is red black and white the use of this colour makes the poster tense and also bold just like a crime thriller, the red probably represents blood so this is suggesting that there will be a killing some point in this film, also linking to the colour is the lighting making the characters here seem more serious and eery.
 Another thing that links in with the crime thriller here is the prop as you can see the character is holding a gun with great confidence showing that there will be violence in the film.
 The last thing that we can see that links in the typography on the poster showing the type being very big and bold linking with the main character showing how bold he is obviously showing some power not only holding the gun but holding power over the woman to as he is obviously bigger than her in this picture.

Planning- horror thriller

Horror Thriller

In which conflict between the main characters are mental, emotional and physical.
What sets the horror thriller apart is the main element of fear throughout the story.
The main character(s) they are or will soon become the victims themselves.
The audience can tell by the low key lighting, the composition and the typography of the poster that it is in the horror thriller genre. 
 The dark lighting makes the character in the background look even more scary, this links in with the composition as the character in the background looks as if he exudes power  over the people in the foreground. 
 The colour of the text (red) is related with danger and blood, this also adds to the horror effect of the poster.
