Here is an example of a movie poster from the horror genre. it consists of a close up image of the main character, the famous actors/ actresses that are in the movie and a tag line " Adapt or Die" The colour of the title is white contrasting with the other darker and dirtier colours, the white as connotations of purity and innocence, but maybe this purity has been tarnished somehow and this is what the greys and browns signify. The blue eyes also stand out focusing the audiences attention onto them so they are looking at them and instantly connect with this character. At the bottom of the poster the director is mentioned, as well as the production company as well as people who were involved in the making of the film.
This compared to the draft of our poster idea is more complex and has shown me that i need to add a tag line and production company and the small writing at the bottom of the poster, and possibly the date on which it comes out. i have notices a lot of posters have these conventions and they need to be added to our poster in order for it to look more complete. I am hoping to upload a few more drafts this week, and try out different images as well. Here is another horror trailer with the conventions to show the similarity:
