This is the advertising poster for one hour photo. the first thing you notice is Robin Williams, a well-known actor which suggests that the film is good because he is known to be a good actor. He has been in the thriller film Insomnia (2002) and plays a similar character. The colours used are sinister - red symbolising danger and the grey is used in contrast to the red and emphasizes it. The burning orange letters stand out against the black shadow on Williams' face, emphasizing 'truly deeply scary' which again adds to the sinister tone to the image and film, and suggesting that the film is a thriller. This film is a psychological thriller and tells the story of a man who was abused as a child and because of this, attempts to intergrate himself into a family's life by stealing their photographs and engaging in sinister fantasies. At the end he completely breaks down and terrorizes the husband and his lover at a hotel. The film creates a lot of tension and suspense as the film goes on, building to the climax where Williams finally breaks down.
This is another film starring Robin Williams. The fact that the majority of the image is in darkness suggests the sinister tone to the film. The red writing symbolises danger and perhaps blood. The lighting is in a typical film noir style and creates a mood of mystery and suspense using shadows. It looks like the characters are on the run - how the spotlight shines on half their face, and the other half is in shadow, as if they are in hiding/are undercover. This suggests that perhaps they are involved in a crime or are trying to solve a crime secretly. This film is a crime thriller.
Like the other two posters, the colours in this poster are very dark, creating a sinister atmosphere which is typical of the thriller genre. The fact that the woman is smoking is very 'film noir' because in a lot of film noir films the woman hero is smoking a cigarette to show that she is tough and not a typical girl.
