Poster Analysis: The Usual Suspects(1995)




Technique
Effect (Analysis)
Layout
·       Credits at Bottom
·       Characters Take up majority of the poster
·       Actor Names at Top
·       Credits at bottom
·       Main Title + Slogan just above credits pushed to the right.
·       Credits are at bottom, shows lack of importance
·       Characters are shown to be on equal standing, Bright clothing against dark background.
·       Actor names at top, presumed semi-famous actors which will attract attention
·       Title is pushed to the right, stands out from dark corner, easily readable
Typography
·       Capitilised Slogan + Main Titles
·       Main Title Bright Red
·       Credits Grey font
·       Slogan+Actor names white

·  Use of capitilisation adds importance to the text, makes it stand out more. 
·  Red font on the black background allows the title to stand out, even though its been pushed to the side.
·  Use of grey fonts means the credits are not considered important and won't be a distraction from the more important parts of the poster.
