Teaser Poster Mood Board.

Teaser Poster Mood Board

I created this mood board in Adobe Photoshop to showcase some of my favourite teaser posters of 2013. The average teaser poster doesn't usually contain much information about the film other than maybe the name of the film, the date of release and other things such as the Directors name. However, some of the posters shown above contain a bit more information than that; a couple contain names of actors present in the film, and other show quotes from critics who have already seen the film whereas others contain information relevant to the contents of the film, but this is quite rare within teaser posters.

Personally I like the look of the two largest posters in this collage; The "Black Rock"poster down on the left and the "Only God Forgives" poster up on the right. I really like the simple design of the "Black Rock" poster, it leaves so many questions only to be answered by watching the film which is the main purpose of a teaser trailer, and I feel it has accomplished this very well. The Bold knife silhouette leads you to think that the themes of the film are quite sinister and violent.
The "Only God Forgives"poster also leaves questions, however doesn't give many hints to the themes of the film, only the location. The neon light effect of the poster makes me think that the film is based in Thailand or china, especially in the shape of the lights. In fact this film is based in Bangkok.
