There are
many specific similarities that all genres of movie posters have. As I analysed
one sci-fi movie poster and one poster based on a comedy feature. I realised
that many of the posters share the same conventions as each other. The posters for
all genres of films always include the essential details such as the release
date or an indication of the release date, the title of the movie and the main
image. The posters also include a strap line giving an indication of what the
movie may be about and may also include the use of any specific selling points
such as an important actor that has a huge reputation in those genres of films
such as the use of Eddie Murphy in a comedic movie. However the posters also
differ from horror movies as all the movies as each specify genre has its own
representative colour that conforms to tat specific type of movie. For example
a horror movie would use dark colours and may use red as its only bright colour
but this is due to the colour red having connotations and relations with blood
and the devil. On the other had a comedy movie will use much lighter and
brighter colours to allow the audience to relax and not have the mind-set of
being frightened as this would be the role of a horror movie poster.
