Research into similar products

After researching different drama film posters its clear that there are a distinct few types that i can take inspiration from


One of the types consists of:

  • a medium close up (or close up) of the main protagonist(s) to present them as the dominant, lead character
  • direct mode of address which forms a connection between the viewers and the characters on the poster 
  • A telling costume connected to the plot or simply the time frame
  • A bold, colourful title with possible connotations, 'Burnt' being orange to denote itself and connote passion or anger whilst suffragette being pink to connote femininity and therefore pride 
Another type consists of:
  • The main protagonist in clear view but without direct mode of address, implying they have their mind elsewhere, perhaps on a mission
  • A black and white colour scheme or simply low key and high key lighting contrasts to convey the film's dark themes, perhaps morality with right vs wrong (concussion) or inner good vs inner bad (captive) due to the contrast in light.
  • A more subtle and more plainly coloured title, possibly to convey the film's more serious and subtle emotions which is matched by the facial expressions of the main character
