Research Into Relevant Film Poster Design - Identity

Relevant Film Poster Design - Identity

 

I decided to research the poster of the 2003 psychological thriller 'Identity'. The film itself holds a lot of qualities that we would like to use in our film such as mystery and subtle suggestion. These are qualities that we would like to use as they quite clearly are extremely essential in creating a psychological thriller as they particularly imply to the 'psychological' side of the genre.

 

 

Elements of the poster that I find particularly effective are the subtly of the silhouettes almost disguises as fingers and the face hidden in the hand. These subtleties are clever and leave an audience to figure out how each part of the poster is relevant to the film and also the genre. The colours used are simple and effective and carefully indicate the tone of the film and imply to an audience the severity of elements such as danger and a warning.

Overall I believe that the poster for Identity is a great basis as to what we would like to sculpt our film on and has given great ideas as to how to start our poster design.
