I have decided to analyse two types of posters; the first half, Ghost busters and Jurassic Park which are typically seen as conventional mainstream posters. The quality of the design is more graphical based, such as the animated ghost who seems supplicated behind bars on the Ghost busters poster, and the historical Jurassic park title font. Both posters seem almost engulfed in black making them seem a lot less energetic and bouncy than the bottom half posters.
The second half are two British film posters, ‘Life is Sweet’and ‘This is England’. Both posters have photographed photos, rather than two animated images to hint at the narrative. Even the title text in ‘This is England’ has been created to seem realistic and worn out. I believe this is because British Drama films decide to go for an audience who can relate to the characters shown on screen, whereas mainstream films are created to give thrill and excitement to the audience, and in fact make the audience want to be the character, rather than being able to relate to them.
Since we have decided to take the path of creating a British Drama, It would be wise to follow on with these traditional methods institutions use. This is why I feel our future poster, should hopefully make our audience feel some similar relation towards the characters we show on our poster.
