The first thing you notice when looking at the poster is the title which falls into the bottom of the 'Golden Rule' triangle. The typography itself is a bright white font which stands out amongst the mist coming from the bridge. There is also a symbol in the O, which ties in with the title and presumably has a link to the plot of the film.
The choice of image is a birds eye view, from high up on the San Francisco bridge, but only parts of the bridge are visible due to the fog that is covering most of the picture. The angle of the picture makes the person feel like they are staring down into the darkness which can be quite disorientating.
The colour scheme is reflective of the genre which is a psychological thriller, the use of mostly darker colours, such as blacks and greys shows the potential darkness of the film. The picture also fades to a black outline around the edge which is quite a common convention of psychological thriller film posters.
Tagline = "There's more than one way to lose your life to a killer". - gives a massive hint to the narrative/plot of the film and also the genre.
Lucy (2014)
The main image which takes up the whole of the background is a close up shot of the antagonist, who is staring directly at the camera, breaking the fourth wall.
The title of the film 'LUCY' is situated within the golden triangle and is also the thing your eyes are drawn to first as the typography used is just a simple black font, yet it is capitalised and translucent so the picture behind can still be seen.
If you focus on her face you can also see there is faded writing all over it which is relevant to our film and the book aspect, which we might include on our poster to show his craziness.

The whole poster is in black and white apart from the release date which is red and squeezed into the bottom left corner and also her eyes which are a unnatural and inhuman colour - this could link to the tagline which hints at this female character using 100% of her brain.
The two main actors name's are positioned at the top of the screen and although it mentions Morgan Freeman, it is clear from the poster that the focus of the film will be on Scarlett Johansson.
Shutter Island (2010)
The poster for Shutter Island contains a close up picture of Leonardo Di Caprio whilst holding a match as he plays the main character and the image is in black and white, it occupies the golden triangle rule.
There is also an image of a small creepy island underneath in the bottom half of the poster and this links in with the title of the film - Shutter Island. The symbolism of the storm weather e.g. heavy rain and choppy waters is a convention of horrors and thrillers as it makes the situation more creepy and scary.
The typography of the title, which is situated at the bottom above the credits,is a bright red (along with the month of the release date) which gives a hint that there will be aspects of horror included in the film along with the main psychological thriller genre.
Tagline = "Someone is missing" - is a hint to what the narrative will be but it is unclear which role Leonardo Di Caprio will play.
