4. Code and conventions used in movie
poster!
1. Similar to Shutter Island, I also included an image which faded into
the other image. By placing an image behind the leading actress of a
forest reflects a eerie and spooky feel for the viewers! Especially as
the trees are bear and creates the impression that the trees are
dead. This reflects to the viewers that this film is in the
mystery/thriller genre!
2. Again similar to real life posters, I also included an image of my main
actress. By including an image of my actress looking directly towards
the camera creates the impression that she is looking at the viewer
and helps create a relationship between the viewer and the
character.

3. Using conventions that can be seen in Shutter Island, I placed
another image behind the main actress and faded it in. This image
related back to the mystery/thriller genre as audience members may
question and become interested into finding out what is inside the
building.
4. I also followed the conventions of real movie posters by including a
tagline which I also kept short. By keeping my tagline short helped it
stick in the viewers mind and by making it a question left them
having to decided what they would do if they were in the characters
position. This also relates back to the mystery/ thriller genre.
5. Again similar to real movie posters, I also included my title on my
poster. By having my title in large clear font helped it grab the
audience attention and also made it clear for them to read. Also by
having it in the colour red created the impression that Priceton
Manor was dangerous
6. Code and conventions used in movie
poster!
6. When looking at Shutter Island and Now You See Me, you can see that
both film posters included the convention of stating either their leading
actors or director. I also used this convention as I felt it gave my movie
poster a professional feel and created the impression that both director
and actress were A list celebrities.
7.It can also be seen that in Shutter Island, an image of the grounds was
faded in and placed near the bottom of the page. I liked this
conventions and wanted to include it in my poster as it told the
audience were the location of the film was.
8. I also used the convention, of including a billing block on my poster. By
including a billing block I feel that my movie poster looks more
professional. Billing blocks are sued to state all people who helped
contributed to the film.
7. From studying movie posters that are in the
mystery/thriller genre, gave me guidance into
how to layout my own movie poster and what
code and conventions to use to reflect the
genre. Also by using code and conventions
that can be seen in real movie posters
helped gave my poster a professional feel!
