Codes & Conventions
Poster Conventions
When it comes to making a poster I need to know what information is included on these. I have deconstructed some film posters from a variety of genres, to see what some typical codes and conventions of these are.
I have deconstructed the film poster for The Notebook. I have chosen this one because this film is a romance film which is the same genre as our short film. The storyline for this film is also similar to one of the ideas we have for our short film, where an old man looks back at his life and meeting his future wife.
I have also looked at Snow White and the Huntsman and Queen of the Sun as other film posters to deconstruct to see how they differ and if they have any similarities.
The codes and conventions of film posters include:
*Image of main characters
*Title
*Production company
*Slogan
*Release date
*Director
*Actors
*Asthetics
