Film Poster Cliché Patterns

From researching film posters I came across a great website called 'reeldealbsu' that combined the same poster types and explained the meaning behind them. Many posters have very similar cliché patterns which is really interesting to see how similar they are.

Teal and orange
Teal and orange is one of the most cliché and used poster technique. Everyone seems to love it as the colours mixed looks satisfying to look at.

Golden yellow
You see this normally in big independent films. They contain either gold or yellow background with a simple picture on top. It is really simple yet effective design that catches your attention due to the bright background colour. I will however not use this as it does not suit my genre or my film is not a big independent film.

Back shot
This one is typically shown for a hero, they have there back faced. You can see how popular it is within hero or villain based films. It is a very popular technique. This may be something I am considering of using even though my character is not a hero or villain, many post-apocalyptic film posters use this.

Big-name head shot
This is typically used if there is a big star in the film and they want to endorse this a lot. There face typically fills up the entire film poster, overlapping with large bold text that stands out. This is possible for myself to use, I think it would look good.
Back-to-back
This is used when the film is about a tough love relationship. Two people are physically standing back to back representing it. I obviously will not be using this as this is completely the opposite of what my film is about.

Ensemble
Ensemble is what you usually see in family films, when there is a lot of characters you see them all bundled up, posing, and the setting in the back drop.

Orange and white
You see this typically within many action films. It suggests the film is going to be very edgy, and the orange represents the action going to happen within the film and the explosions they are going to have.

Floating heads over scene
Floating heads over a scene is normally used when the film is very meaningful, soft and touching. The backdrop is usually a beach or a field of some sort. This could be a film poster that I may use.
