Research – Film Poster Strapline

This is the line of text on a movie poster that gives us a little more insight into the film, sometimes creating Enigma.

 

• Strapline gives us a clue that this is a crime film.
  
• The Strapline “Welcome to the bank robbery capital of America” clarifies this is a crime film but we know exactly what to expect because the word “Bank robbery” suggests there will be a bank robbery of a lifetime. This also ties in with the image of the people wearing the disguises. 

I will use this research to help prepare my own poster incorporating some of these techniques.
