Goodfellas Poster analysis

'Goodfellas'. I have chosen this poster in particular because the film has a relative genre to mine, I will take influence for my poster from this, 'Snatch' and 'Love, Honour, Obey'
I can see from this poster that the creator has positioned the three main characters above the corpse laying on the road. Already i can see just by evaluating this poster briefly that the three characters have power and dominance in the film. The dark background allows the audience to see the protagonists faces but nothing else.

The font is simplistic, similar to others for this genre such as snatch and love honour obey. The simplistic font allows the image to overpower the title. The font reminds me of the font Times New Roman, a default font used to write reports, letters etc. Therefore the image below the title allows me to think that the men above the title were responsible for the crime. This creates an image that sums up the film.
The Actors playing the protagonists are written above there character, this allows the audience to determine the role of that character by their own knowledge of the actor.
