In preperation for creating our own poster to support the 'sales' of our film we analysed conventions of other film titles and their poster. By doing this, our knowledge grew by deciding on how best to represent our film and how to give the audience a restricted outline of the film but to offer enough to gain the interests of consumers. Along with major film posters, I looked at previous students efforts and as a result I was analytical on both good and bad aspects of the poster and coincidentally I feel we created a better poster. However I found it more beneficial by looking at the global film posters, as quite obviously large companies don't achieve great success, without great advertising. 'The Silence of The Lambs' is a clear example that demonstrates both captivating advertising and aesthetically intriguing images. The poster uses symbolic contrast of white and black colouring as a representation of death, along with this is the use of framing as only a part of the face can be seen - adding to the ambiguity and surrealness. Noticeably the picture is the centre of attention which is further reinforced by the small title and conventional information, which highlights the attractive aspects of the poster. This is something when making our poster will need to take into careful consideration.
