3. The titles and use of colour within poster posters resemble
similarities such as the golden colour, slight similarity between
fonts and location of the text which is located at the bottom of
the poster. The conventions of the genre are similar and display
the same characteristics and themes. The difference of my font is
recognisable as it is more italic than bold compared to the
professional poster. The background on my poster is darker in
comparison as I wanted the colour to stand out more.
TEASER POSTER
COMPARISONS
The similar conventions of colour seem
consistent within the adventure genre as it
adds a sense of wonder and imagination. The
main image being central within the poster is
aligned with the audiences eye line which
encourages and promotes the poster. The use
of action within both main images is evident as
the top image contains scenes of adventure
from the film which is consistent of main
image underneath. Both images contain
scenes from the film and possibly the trailer
which seems to be a conventional from as
promoting the adventure genre.
The text and location of the
blocking bill of the top image is
consistent of, and shares
similarities with my tag line and
release date. The font of both
posters consist of similarities,
especially when it comes to
colour; yellow and white.
4. Magazine Cover Comparisons
The main image of both my magazine and the professional cover are
both consistent of conventions and forms that when compared,
contain similar themes as they both present a black and white main
image.
Since both magazine cover contain the same genre; Adventure, it
seems appropriate to follow the same themes as the bottom main
image in order to gain the same effect that a professional cover
portrays.
The difference when comparing my magazine with the main image of
FILM magazine`s is the expression on the characters faces. With the
themes of negativity and dark tones on the professional magazines
main image, it gives the impression that this character could be the
antagonist. Comparing this to the expression of my main image`s
face, the protagonist displays a more calm and collected expression
which portrays conventions and themes of emotion.
The forms that are presented within both magazine covers contain
similarities. Mostly between the placement of advertisement and sell
lines. The location of the sell lines on both magazines are located in
the same placed and are both expressed through different sizes of
font. The colour of the sell lines are slightly different as there is a
difference from my poster`s blue coloured text and font compared
to the professional magazine cover.
That being said, the themes, conventions and fonts conform towards
the adventure genre and both magazine sell lines share alike
similarities such as layout and size.
