This is the film poster for 'Killshot'. This film is a 2008 Crime thriller starring Diane Lane and Mickey Rourke and directed by John Madden. The main images are of a male and female character with a gun between them. the woman looks like she's in fear while the man looks like a detective and this, and the combination of the title 'killshot' allows the audience to identify the genre of the film. In the background is a shot low angle shot of the main character running holding a gun with an explosion behind him. This helps to emphasise on the genre of the film and that he's a main character in the film as there is focus on him. the font used is fairly simple to read as it's in red, black and white; red possibly signifying blood shed and it also compliments the explosion and effect in the background. The names of the most important characters are places at the top of the poster. this is easy for te audience to read, and the font and the colour of te actors names follow the same style in the film title. We are also told it is 'an unrelently thriller' by a magazine review which promises a potential of the audience feeling the same way after viewing the film. This poster only has a few conventions of a film poster as it is missing billing cards at the bottom of the poster; there is no tagline or even a release date and it doesn't include a website address but its still quite an effective film poster.
