This is a poster from the Dali/Bendel surrealist film and we can see that the top half of the poster is an image from the film itself. This may look confusing for someone who has not seen it before, however if you have, it makes sense and allows you to make the link between the film and poster as this is a particularly surreal scene. It only shows the information that you need to know, the title and who it is by which is an interesting feature as many modern films have a lot of information on the poster. Our poster would need to have more information on it however I think we could design it to prioritise the most important elements of it.
He colour scheme works well as the orangey tint makes it look aged and historic. It also looks dark and mysterious when used alongside the black bottom half, which compliments the high contrast in the image above. I think the fire makes it look more interesting however there are no special effects in the film so viewers may be mislead into thinking it is more of an action film.
The font of the text is 50’s style which helps transport the viewer to the eera in which the film was set. This is an interesting point which we will have to consider when deciding the font we want to use as it can tell a lot about the genre of film you are making.- Clips from the film can look good on the cover
- Minimal text
- Use space to the poster's advantage
