Here are some posters from existing short films. Overall the posters have very similar connotations and use a Chiaroscuro effect. They all have their primary colour of black that almost 'seeps' onto the poster. This create a look of shadows giving a con notion os mystery and that there is something hiding in the dark. This is furthered by the contrasting light parts of the posters. This puts emphasis on the light parts attracting the audiences' attention as well as further suggesting there is something to hide in the dark.
This theme also work with the concept of fear. This happens because we cannot see in the dark and therefore anything could be there. This plays with our imagination and associations of childhood fear. This helps with the horror and thriller genres as they also used aspects of fear and tension.
I will be breaking down the posters here:
- Drowned at birth
- Must Peeter
- Voices
- Room 107
