I decided to look at shot types on film posters. I specifically looked at posters of the genre horror as this is the genre that my film will be based on.
The 'Drag Me To Hell' poster I picked because I liked how the image was situated in the centre, the medium shot allows the audience to see the reaction of the the person as well as half her body to show the hands grabbing her. I thought the flames engulfing the woman looked very effective, when I saw this poster I would immediately associate it with the horror genre. I think the woman appears to be the victim in the poster which is the same character type as the actress in my film. I would consider using a shot like this for my poster.
The 'Insidious' poster is a medium shot to establish the young boy in the scene, however I personally focused in on the boys strong expression. However the positioning of the boy in the poster is something I probably would not choose to replicate as there is a lot of space around him that I think is quite wasted. I would prefer to make a poster that has an image that fills a lot of the space.
The 'Frailty' poster that I found is quite unique as the eye contact grabs the audiences attention and really projects the genre. I would associate this confrontational male as the villain in the film as he is projecting certain messages across. I like the close up shot as it is simple and focuses purely on the facial expression. I think I could recreate a shot like this for my poster.
