Film Noir Posters are typically dark and mysterious to represent what the film is like. However a lot of them are actually quite colourful with most posters using the colours red and yellow somewhere. It is usually the font of the title of the film that is the most colourful as it would stand out a lot more than if it was a mundane, black and white colour. The aim of a poster is to sell a product and I think these posters were very good at doing that. Whereas these days posters are photographs of the actors, to make them more dramatic and interesting film noir posters were actually paint based. I think this gives a very interesting edge to them.
In the posters it is very likely for the actors in them to be smoking as this was a very common practice for that time. Also it is likely that there will be some sort of violence or horror in these posters such as there might be a weapon or the people might be looking frightened in them.
