Film Poster Influences

One influence I had when designing my poster was for the film 'Monsters'. This is because on this film poster it shows people in gas masks walking away from what appears to be an explosion.This is similar to the plot of our thriller. This fits the codes and conventions of our thriller and thrillers in general. This is because it creates suspense and tension as to what has happened and why these people have survived. The tagline 'Now, its our turn to adapt' also helps to create tension because the viewer of this poster will be wondering why they are all of a sudden being forced to adapt as this line suggests they are one of the last to. This poster for the thriller 'Monsters' is designed to get people questioning it, thus encouraging them to want to go and see it. This is the purpose behind these posters and this is why we have created our teaser poster/s to gain an interested audience who will go and see it when it is released.
