Research and analysis on TV drama posters.

The image above is a poster from the TV series The Vampire Diaries, The series is TV drama, i am going to use this poster and other alike to influence my own poster.

The image is dark and mysterious; i believe that this reflects the atmosphere of the series itself. All the characters visible in the image are wearing black or other dark colours. The poster features all of the main characters in the programme; this means that fans of specific characters or actors are attracted to the series increasing the audience numbers.

The Image is set in a dark wooded area, this to some implies fear and tension. I believe that this again implements the theme of the series, following the fearful journey of supernatural creatures. As mentioned before the darkness of the image reinforces the fear, tension and mystery that you can expect to experience.

The reflection in the water beneath the characters add an eerie atmosphere to the image, i would like to include all of the above atmospheric settings to the poster i am going to create.

 

 

 

 

 

This image is a poster of the TV drama The Walking Dead, the image consists mostly of setting, the setting is quite plain but is adds an eerie atmosphere. There is one character featured in the centre of the image, this is the main character. He looks fearful, this may reflect onto the audience making them fearful of the event that is yet to come in the series.

 

 

 



 

Finally this image is from the TV drama Misfits, although the characters seem to have a positive attitude and don’t seem to feel fearful, the unknown character in the back dressed in all black makes the audience feel fearful. The grey clouds featured in the background adds darkness and tension to the image, this may again imply fear.
