Poster influences

Looking at influences for our poster, there are some features we want to find, such as; genre, props, tone, mood, text and theme.

We want to base our poster around a prop, preferably a gun. So we looked on impawards.com to try and find posters that fit this criteria.

                                               

These various posters both fit our genre and use a prop like how we want to. The styles and backgrounds vary, but all feature the gun we want to use. We would prefer to use a handgun, rather than a bigger gun like a shotgun or rifle. A normal feature of action posters is that the main character is the centre and everything else is developed around it.

We also looked at the posters of the films we looked at for our original influences, which were; The Dark Knight/Rises, Looper and Taken. As these were influences for our trailer, we believed that they could be influences for our posters.

Once again, these posters are big influences for us. Each poster has something unique, with different features, styles, techniques and backgrounds. We aim to use one or two features from each poster in the construction of our poster.

Overall, our 5 favourite posters are;
