Poster analysis 2

The second poster I have chosen to analyse has been taken from a Horror genre. It is the advertising campaign for the film 'Insidious'. This poster includes the same conventions as the previous poster does. Although, unlike the other one, this poster contains mise-en-scene. This refers to the visual theme, which works as an indicator to the type of genre that the film is.

Poster analysis introduction

I am going to conduct research and analysis towards the conventions of film posters. I have looked at five different posters from a variety of genres, in order to see if there are similarities within the conventions. This will help my understanding of the depth in film posters, thus benefitting me when I am making my own.  Below are the five posters, each of different genres, which I chose to analyse the conventions of: 1) La La Land  2) Spider Man  3) Insidious 2  4) Hangover 2  5) The Notebook
