Film Poster Analysis #1 - My Sisters Keeper

I am going to analyse 3 film posters that are of a drama genre. This research will help assist me when making decisions for my own poster as I will have learnt what conventions I need to include to conform correctly whilst making my poster to the highest standard possible.




Main image - features three people, who from the trailer, you know are the mother and her two daughters. The third daughter who is revealed to be suffering from terminal cancer in the trailer, is shown to be below her mum and sister as she is placed in the bottom right-hand corner. The mother and youngest daughter are sat next to each other smiling which gives the impression that their picture is from a different time to the other. This gives me the idea that I could have a picture of my main actor, Joe, in one area of my poster and then have the picture off of my missing persons poster integrated on another area to show that they are linked.

The typography is basic and so is successful in not cluttering up the main images. The white works well in keeping a calm atmosphere which the light blues help reinforce. The written text is an element I need to take into consideration for my poster. They have along the top 'From the director of 'the notebook'. The Notebook is a well-know, successful romance film and so people are likely to go and see it if it has hosted the same director. Following this they have the actors names, the films name in the biggest font to make it stand out to the rest, and then the release date and company production credits.
