Art House and Feature Film Posters

As part of my film poster planning, I wanted to find some real life examples of an art house film poster which also has a feature counterpart which in some way related to the genre and style of our own short film. An example that I was able to find was for the film Black Swan, which had numerous art house and feature film posters, and also had the genre style of a psychological thriller. Art house film posters tend to orientate around being more graphic and simplistic as opposed to a main film poster. In addition, these poster types also include minimalistic text and also striking colours that catch the viewers attention. With feature film posters, a main image from the film tends to be a main part of the poster in order to show both the main character and the starring actor/actress of the film. With the Black Swan examples, there is a clear contrast in terms of the features that re used, be it the image type of overall house style of the poster in relation to film. i think I would be able to combine elements from both posters such as the striking colours and large covering facial image, so that it can appeal to our target audience and relate to our style of film, and also where it'll be shown.
