Film posters are a crucial part of advertising as they attract a large amount of varied people. Posters often show that regardless of your preferred genre, you can be subconsciously interested in a film before you even know what it is about.
This poster for The Silence Of The Lambs is a good example of a film poster. The detail within the picture has an enigmatic nature. It also allows us to gain a rough idea as to what the film is about.
The close-up of the film poster shows that the skull upon the moth is made out of distorted images of naked women. It suggests that this could be a theme throughout the film and attracts the audience as due to it's disturbing nature. The moth is also covering the woman's mouth, which suggests an inability to talk or scream for help perhaps. Also the woman's eyes are also tinted a dark red colour suggesting danger.

After carrying out research of the conventions of film posters, it posed potential ideas for our own poster. Despite this poster having hidden meanings I like the subtlety of it. It inspired me to create a way of getting perhaps quite a deep meaning but through subtle ways for our own film poster.
