I believe this poster is really successful, therefore i have adapted some key features i picked up into my final poster. Firstly i think the simplicity of the poster is what first caught my eye and the phrase 'less is more' definitely applied to this. Consequently i have decided to ensure that my image is striking enough so captivate my audience so then i don't need to use to much typography as i believe this can really effect the quality of a poster. I definitely think the deadly weapon compliments the poster, by creating a tense atmosphere it leaves the audience absorbed in the image. As a result of this i have decided to use a weapon in my film poster, though instead i have used a knife, this immediately highlights the genre of the film which is sure to attract the target demographic. Another feature i have incorporated which is inspired by various posters, though this one in particular is the fact that it is a female protagonist holding the weapon. This interests me as it defies the usual stereotype of a female being obedient and passive, but instead playing on characteristics which are more likely to be associate with males such as abuse and violence.
I originally selected this poster to analyse as i believed it was powerful and created enigmas which made me want to watch the film. I believe that it is absolutely key to ensure you leave the audience wanting more. One particular aspect i liked was the ambiguous background image, although i can now see its a face, at first i was slightly mislead. I have loosely included this idea in the image i decided to use for my final poster. I have Photoshopped the image in order to give it a gritty texture, this has made it look inhuman like which was what i was going for. I have also rotated the image, so that on a first glance, the fact that its a face isn't clear until you look closely and can depict certain features. Another aspect of the product which i thought was visually effective,
was the Actors and Actreses names placed at the top of the page. I like their placement on the page as they are separate
from the main features such as the main image and main title, however they are still noticeably as as a viewer our eyes are naturally drawn to the top first. I also think the typography is well suited as it is simple, this is good however because the rest of the poster is very outspoken. I have used this idea for my poster as it not only makes it appear more interesting though it create a professional feel. I have learned that not all of my poster has to have adpects of drama and boldness so the simplicity of this feature is beneficial. 
In my opinion this is one the most successful thriller poster, therefore it was absolutely crucial that i used this as inspiration for my poster. The first quality i altered to accommodate style i was aiming to achiever was the bottom section which involved the cast and crew who created the film.
I believe this is a really efficient, as it allows so much information to be shared in such a small segment of the page. The way that it is all packed together makes it catch your attention, this is also helped by the fact it is beneath the main image, so therefore we naturally drawn to it. Embedded into it is also the film studio and entertainment company's logos,this allows the audience to identify ones in which they may have come across before, filling them with hope that the film is worth seeing. This part of the poster is evident in my own, i have changed the font and the layout slightly so it reflect my own personal style, however i aimed to keep it relatively similar. Another feature in which i have adapted is the quote beneath the main title, it is chilling and gives you a slight idea of what to expect to see in the film. I have came up with my own quote which creates an enigmas in order to reel my audience in. The poster is mainly black and white, however color has been subtly woven into it. I originally created a black and white poster however changed my mind and used red, this not only follows the conventions of the three color principle but it also makes it more attractive and associates it with the genre. I have tried to make it look understated in a similar way to this poster, as i want to keep it appearing professional.
