Gone Girl:
A Medium long shot shows Ben Affleck standing next to a river. The positioning of the shot and the landscape surrounding suggests that he is quite an isolated character, as well as representing him as not being dependent on anyone else. Part of his body has a 'bad connection'/static television effect to it which could suggest a key part of this film is media related. Moreover, shown through the news headline near the bottom of the page "FOX NEWS: SEARCH FOR AMAZING AMY CONTINUES" this theme is continued. Furthermore, this could also suggest that our protagonists (?) is unstable in some way, giving an eerie feel to the film. Both this, the title and the colours (blue/black/white) suggests that the genre of this film is a thriller as it has a cold atmosphere to it. I wouldn't think it was a horror film as there is nothing I find 'scary' about the poster. The narrative of this film is quite clearly given through the name and the faded eyes in the background. A woman, somehow linked to the man, has gone missing. The title is also faded, further suggesting this idea of the woman being missing. I would guess that this film has an audience rating of 15+ as it doesn't look like it would appeal to anyone under that age.
The Maze Runner:
A long shot is used to show a number of the characters, running up and away from the Maze. The slight tilt and large Maze walls behind/surrounding them represents these characters as being in a highly vulnerable and dangerous situation. However, despite this the characters appearance (from clothing to facial expression) also suggests them as being strong and determined, attempting to escape the Maze (Narrative). Both the name title and the colours (blue/green) suggest that the genre for this film is action/thriller, aimed at young audiences (possibly 12/12a) due to the young cast.
