Briefly looking at the posters for drama films it appears that the main emphasis on these posters is based entirely on the main characters to the film (such as the two lovers etc.). There is very little focus on any of the text apart from the title and tagline suggesting that these are the most important things to the potential audience that the film makers are trying to reach. Overall, the colours used in the posters can vary quite drastically but tend to be fairly neutral and soft colours.
COMEDY
Comedy posters also focus mainly on portraying the main characters of the film with less focus on the text. The characters are sometime shown in unusual or comical poses or situations, however, they are also sometimes just shown face on. The overall colours of comedy posters tend to be quite vibrant as this helps to convey the comedy aspect of the film and is more suitable than darker colours.
HORROR
Unlike comedy and drama, all but a few horror posters do not even show the main character to the story which places more of an emphasis on the storyline. This is done by the use of images which can also sometimes appear to be quite cryptic which could help entice the reader. Overall, the colours used in horror posters are dark and dull, however, there is also a large use of red as this is a colour often assosciated with both danger and blood (things which are present in most horror films).
