To create some inspiration for our poster we looked at posters that fall in the same genre as ours to see how the film can be displayed and what elements make the poster effective and relevant to the genre and the film itself.
In general a majority of the posters that were advertising thriller films, in particular psychological thrillers, the focal point of the posters were the faces of characters in the film. I feel that this is because psychological thrillers tend to delve into human behaviour and the human mind in general. The effect of having a persons face on the poster can make the audience wonder why this character has such focus and adds an element of mystery. It also makes the film seem some what relatable as we know then there is focus of human behaviour and doesn't make the film too unrealistic and almost believable and disturbing.
Alongside the faces there tends to be some kind of hint to say what else the film will involve. Sometimes the graphology of the poster can also indicate the tone of the film which can be used effectively paired with the images used to involve and entice an audience member to the film.
Here are a few examples:
