The crime drama is a fairly expansive genre, with many films filling the genre. Below, I comprised some of the best crime dramas as inspiration and sources to help create our own crime drama.
Analyzing the general mood of each poster, I sought after some similarities in what each film poster tries to portray. I also looked for things like similarities in color, lighting, character position, and wardrobe.
Similarities
- Contrasting colors (usually white and black)
- Dramatic lighting
- Character looking at camera
- Characters are the center of attention in the poster
- Very serious looks on the characters face
- Character are usually surrounded by darkness
Analyzing these similarities, my group and I will try to recreate the general mood in our own film.
