Here I have taken a film poster and labelled the typical conventions.
We looked through numerous film magazines and the Internet to find three film posters in which we wanted to take ideas from. This is our analysis of each poster.

'SHUTTER'-
Positives-
Eye catching due to the number of pictures which have been merged into the distorted features of the face.
The ghostly colours of the poster clearly represents the genre of the film
The fact that none of the pictures are particularly in vision helps to not give away the plot of the story.
They have used other movies which the company have produced which were very popular to help make people want to go and see the film.
Negatives-
The tittle of the film looks as if it has been made to look less important.
Although the images used are effective, there is no bright colours or coloured text that jump out so that people notice the poster.
'One Hour Photo'-
Positives-
We liked how the main protagonist was centre of the poster as it draws attention to him meaning that he is the main focus of the film.
Unlike many film posters this is set out in a landscape view, which is very uncommon for most film posters therefore it gives it a sense of unity, and will catch peoples eye.
As we used a dark room within our teaser trailer, we liked how they used the red lighting for the picture as if it has been taken within a dark room. We also felt that it would show a connection between our teaser trailer and poster therefore making it a recognisable theme for our film which the audience will remember.
As we have also used a lot of photos of young girls within our film, we liked the way the pictures in the foreground of the poster were all laid out to enable us to see what may be a storyline within the film, but also that they may be a large part to the story of the film.

'[Rec]2'-
Positives-
We felt that the title was very unique, as it related to an action used when filming or tapeing something, therfore it gives an insight to what the film is about.
Although the colours used within the film poster are very minimal, they are effective as the colours used stand out in comparison to the black background.
As the image is from a birds eye view, it makes the two characters seem very ______ therefore making the audience want to watch the film to see if they "survive".
