SCI FI
These sci-Fi posters all share a common theme in their colour scheme. A blue hue is a common denominator here, as it represents space, an important part of the Sci-fi genre. Another recurring feature is an imposing figure, either male or female, usually alone and surrounded by large amounts of empty space. This signifies a common genre specific theme of loneliness, either they are left alone or they're mentally alone but they're is a definitive tinge of loneliness in Sci Fi films. As well as having a blue hue, the colour scheme often reflects the cold tone of sci fi movies. Everything is cold and calculating and never usually 'heart warming' in any sense of the phrase, this is mimicked perfectly in the lack of any warm colours or tones in the movie poster art.
These posters all seem to have a sizeable portion of the blank space around the focus dedicated to credits and other text, such as tag lines. For example on the interstellar poster, the ground beneath Mathew Mconahay has the title, tag line, credits and realise date laid across it. This seems to be a recurring theme in movie posters, especially in the Sci Fi genre where there is often plenty of empty space, to personify the loneliness aspect I referred to earlier, in which they can place it without taking anything away from the poster itself.
The final point I want to make is another recurring theme of a source of bright light. These movies often feature one protagonist overcoming impossible odds and the white light source represents the slim amount of hope said protagonistt has in over coming said odds. ( Despite the fact they always over come them no matter what but..)
