The document analyzes the conventions used in horror film trailers, posters, and magazine covers. It discusses how the creator researched existing examples to understand conventions and then applied them to their own horror media products. Key conventions included dark color schemes, isolated locations, dramatic scenes, and revealing the film title at the end for trailers. Common poster elements were taglines, images of characters, and credits at the bottom. Magazine covers usually featured people, contrasting colors, and previews of content inside. The creator incorporated these standard horror media conventions across their teaser trailer, poster, and magazine cover design.

The main image is a close up of the villain, which is often used for magazine covers to introduce and highlight the main characters of the film. The title of the magazine, is in its conventional place, is it the largest text on the page. - The font of the magazine title has a dripping blood effect so that readers instantly recognise that the theme and the genre of the film involves horror. - Just like existing magazine coverts we made the font size the largest, because it is important that the readers know what magazine they are reading, and how popular and recognised it is.
