Research into film posters

Film Poster

 Film Name: Jurrassic Park
 Date of Release : 1993
 Genre : Action Sci-Fi
 Plot: A selected group of scientists are chosen to verify the safety of a new theme park that includes cloned dinosaurs. After a number of encounters the island is rocked by a storm which leads to chaos with staff leaving for the mainland. The dinosaurs run loose and it leads to trouble with the main characters in  danger from all types of dinosaurs.

This example of a film poster is effective in showing the audience what the storyline is and what it includes. The simple image on a dark background does not complicate the theme. Including the tag line " An adventure 65 million years in the making" This suggests a link to the image of the dinosaur.


Film Name: The Hangover
Date of Release : 2009
Genre : Dark Comedy
Plot: 4 men go to vegas on a batchelor party for their friend Doug, arriving in one of Las Vegas' best hotels the four start on the roof and have a drink. They wake up the next morning a man down, without remembering what had happened they had lost the man who was about to get married on that day. The film goes over what had happened in the night in Las Vegas and how they find Doug.

This poster includes the location of the film 'Vegas' as well as showing the shiny glamour which the 4 encounter on their trip to Las Vegas. The three main characters who look for Doug and the baby which tags along throughout the film. The charcters show pain, tiredness and calmness this can imply the chjarcters are different in their own way.


 Film Name : Shaun of The Dead
Date of Release : 2004
Genre: Dark Comedy
Plot: A man lives his everyday life with his best friend in his favourite pub The Winchester. After his Girlfriend dumps him a zombie apocalypse effects his community, as he gathers friends and family, they take rufuge in The pub. The apocalypse gets the better of Shauns friends and leads to them all being killed or made into a zombie apart from his ex girlfriend who are saved by the army.

This poster is very topical in terms of the film and has a clever way of portraying the plot from one image. The multiple zombies included in the poster is an accurate representation of the film as Shaun loses almost everyone in the film while the flowers he holds present life and prosperity but stuck inbetween zombies in a small space. The Tag line of "Ever Felt surounded by zombies"  This implies the apocalypse goes off under the nose of Shaun the film title also links to the zombie theme where the a is of a typical zombie hand rising from a grave.
