Research on Film Posters. (American Gangster)
The aim of my film poster is to stand out and still maintain the maturity and look of a common gangster film trailer cover.
Some of the covers i looked at came from American Gangster, Gangster Squad, 44 inch Chest and many more which had unique ways of showing off the film and exadurating it in a fair manour.
The way American Gangster shows its self off is by using a black and white effect which puts the old fashion traditional gangster feel into it along with a red splatter of blood which underlines the title. This way conotations of modern day are brought back and means they film still has the gory violent side to it.
On the cover the two main characters are shown which makes them a focus point for when you are watching the film. They positioning also shows connotations to what they are like as they are keeping a look out and not focusing on the camera.
