This is image of my final movie poster. I believe that my poster conforms to the typical conventions of a real media product. The typical conventions of a movie poster are;
1. It must be eye catching and captivating to the audience
2. There must be a focal picture that will draw in the audience eye
3. The title is displayed in a large, eye-catching font
4. There is usually an indication of when the film is being released - either a date or 'Coming Soon',
although they are sometimes less specific, for example they might say 'In Cinemas This Summer'
5. Information on the Directors and Production Company is often displayed in a billing block at the bottom of the poster
1. There are many typical conventions, but my poster definitely conforms to the 5 conventions listed above. My poster is eye catching as the main image is of my actress looking directly into the camera. This kind of shot is a form of direct mode address (The model looks directly at the audience, or the writing speaks to 'you'). This convention is effective because straight away the audience know what the title of the movie is, as it stands out, further grabbing their attention
3. The credits are at the bottom of the poster, these credits are known as the billing block. Billing is a performing arts term used in referring to the order and other aspects of how credits are presented for plays, film, television, or other creative works. Information given in billing usually consists of the companies, actors, directors, producers, and other crew members. All official movie posters should have a billing block, my poster does therefore conform to this convention.
