Conventions

Above are the conventions which need to be included when designing and creating my magazine cover and film poster. There are also certain conventions which need to be included in the film trailer but can be in any order the producer wishes.

Studio/distributors logo
Images/clips from the film itself
Contain background information without giving the story away (voiceover/text/dialogue)
Music (suited to genre)
Directors name
Actresses and Actors in the film
(NB promote the name that people would recognise more such as James Cameron for Avatar, they played on the fact that he was director of Titanic)
Rythem change (suit the pace increase)
Title of the film
Release date (research when blockbusters and such are released)
