1. Question 1 – conventions

2. To keep the poster conventional I
have added a billing block, studio
logos and a release date. I have
also made the colour scheme quite
dark by using dark colours such as
red, black and grey and this
makes is conventional as dark
colours are usually used to suit
the dark theme. The image I have
used is also conventional as well
as I have used a dark character as
well as blurring his face to keep
his identity more of mystery. To
make the poster more
conventional I also added the
actor’s names under the title.

3. When comparing my poster with an actual poster there are some similarities. For instance
there is the billing block and the studio logos at the bottom of the poster, as well as having a
piece of text at the top as some sort of slogan. The images as well are similar, my magazine
has the main antagonist reaching out towards you, whereas the actual poster just has the
antagonist standing menacingly. Both posters also have the release date somewhere at the
bottom on the poster. However there are some differences between them, such as the
backgrounds, my poster in a plain background where as the real poster has a foggy woods
background.

4. Both posters have the title of
the film at the bottom with the
billing block below
Both posters also have
the main protagonist in
the centre, standing and
looking forward
menacingly.
Both posters have a
catchy slogan placed at
the top.

5. Masthead
Pull
quotes
Barcode
Movie
title
To keep the magazine conventional I
have added pull quotes on the side
of the cover, with related movie
articles that would be in the
magazine. I haver also added a
barcode at the bottom of the cover so
that its conventional and looks like
an actual magazine. There is also
the big eye catching masthead
located at the top of the cover, with
the movie title located at the bottom
of the page.

6. There are a lot of obvious similarities between my magazine and an
actual magazine. For example one would be the big masthead at the
top of the cover, that’s eye catching and interesting. There are the pull
quotes at the side that show featuring articles inside the magazine.
And of course there is the main movie title at the bottom of the page,
with a big image of the of a main character in the centre
