Teaser trailer conventions - It

The first teaser trailer I am going to analyse is for the film 'it'. This film is from the Horror genre. 

Below is the teaser trailer:



After watching this clip, I have wrote all the conventions which I found:

-Images of stars, e.g. Jaeden Leiber, who plays Bill Denbrough; one of the main characters
-Short extracts from the film
-Production company logos; Warner Bro's
-Film genre indication; Horror
-Sound effect/impact sounds
-Fast pace editing
-Different camera shots and fast movements
-Music chosen to create atmosphere and tension
-Dramatic camera angles chosen to reveal certain characters, such as the clown right at the end.

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 

SFX front cover analysis

This is one of the front covers from SFX magazine. SFX is a British magazine, which covers topics in the genres of popular science fictions, fantasy and horror, in different types of medias such as films, video games, comics and literature. The magazine was founded in 1995 and gets published every 4 weeks for Future PLC. The genre of the magazine can be told immediately by the 3D, silver masthead in bold. This futuristic tone has also been accompanied by a visionary dominant central image. The cover lines mention films; 'Dawn of the Apes' as well as tv shows such as 'Walking Dead', 'Super Natural' and 'Doctor Who'. All of these productions fit in with the Sci-fi genre, which SFX promotes. 

Poster analysis 1

The first film poster I am going to be analysing is La La Land as has been classified as the musical genre.  The poster conventions I found for this film were smaller images, reviews, reference to awards, film title, name of stars and star ratings. I suspect the rest of the posters I analyse to include the same conventions, despite the differing genres.
