1. Conventions of Posters
How real media products had
helped me developed my poster

2. General color codes through out
poster
Red, black and white.
Red, black and white.
Strong background colour associated with that
colour code

3. Bold title usually in a color
contrasting the background color,
yet still keeping to the color code
Black-Red=Contrast
Red-White=Contrast
White-Black= Contrast
From looking at these posters
I was able to learn that the
titles are bold and stand out.
They stand out because of the
colors used in the background.
For example, Due Date
contrasts with it’s light
background. Click is dark,
whereas the background is
bright. Therefore it will stand
out and be clear.

4. One Main Image
On my poster you can see that I have used one main image.
I used this from looking at other posters during my planning.
I looked posters such as the ones below.
As you can see all of them have one main image of the
character(s). It is a convention of a poster to have an image of the
main characters and this is what I have done.

5. Main actors names on the poster
The position on the poster of these names changes from poster to poster; depends
On the editor and designer.
I have positioned mine besides the
q characters to give the viewer a better In-
sight of who is who.

6. Production company, director
ect
All of the posters on the left have had
their institution details on the bottom.
By analysing these posters it had
occurred to me that the institution
details are conventional to be placed
at the bottom.

7. Tag line from the film or a
quotation about the film
From researching posters I have learnt
tat a tagline or quotation is a
convention from the poster. These
taglines are to due with these comedy
posters and they are quite funny so
therefore It becomes more appealing to
the viewer as they read it.
I have inserted a tagline in to my poster
to match this convention.

8. Layout
The Z lay out is a very
common convention of
a comedy poster. I have
Applied it to my poster

9. To concludethe audiences attention.
The title is bold and uses a san serf font. This is to attract
The title is the first thing that the viewer will see. From this the viewer can automatically
presume It’s a comedy.
The colour scheme of the poster contrasts with the rest of the visual content, therefore it
pops out more and grabs the viewers attention to the poster.
