VHS Film Poster Codes and Conventions

Here is a look into codes and conventions for a VHS film poster, I have looked at what the poster does and what it attempts to convey through these devices. For our film poster it may be a good idea to use a larger amount of black to represent a horror film and perhaps the main image of our poster could be similar to VHS' in the sense that it could be a blood stained video camera as the main image of the poster.

The Strangers Poster Codes and Conventions

Here is some codes and conventions research into the Strangers film poster. I have discussed why the codes and conventions have been used and to what effect they give the viewer and to how they relay to the theme and tone of the actual film. From this poster I believe we would be able to take certain things from this existing poster, in the sense that I think the minimalistic style will help to convey the tone and atmosphere of our own film, as well as this the use of one image I find that it helps to add mystic around the film as well as keeping the poster looking professional and effective in its use.
