The titles and use of colour within poster posters resemble similarities such as the golden colour, slight similarity between fonts and location of the text which is located at the bottom of the poster. The conventions of the genre are similar and display the same characteristics and themes. The difference of my font is recognisable as it is more italic than bold compared to the professional poster. The background on my poster is darker in comparison as I wanted the colour to stand out more.

TEASER POSTER COMPARISONS

The similar conventions of colour seem consistent within the adventure genre as it adds a sense of wonder and imagination. The main image being central within the poster is aligned with the audiences eye line which encourages and promotes the poster. The use of action within both main images is evident as the top image contains scenes of adventure from the film which is consistent of main image underneath. Both images contain scenes from the film and possibly the trailer which seems to be a conventional from as promoting the adventure genre.

The text and location of the

blocking bill of the top image is consistent of, and shares similarities with my tag line and release date. The font of both posters consist of similarities, especially when it comes to colour; yellow and white.

Magazine Cover Comparisons

The main image of both my magazine and the professional cover are both consistent of conventions and forms that when compared, contain similar themes as they both present a black and white main image. Since both magazine cover contain the same genre; Adventure, it seems appropriate to follow the same themes as the bottom main image in order to gain the same effect that a professional cover portrays. The difference when comparing my magazine with the main image of FILM magazine`s is the expression on the characters faces. With the themes of negativity and dark tones on the professional magazines main image, it gives the impression that this character could be the antagonist. Comparing this to the expression of my main image`s face, the protagonist displays a more calm and collected expression which portrays conventions and themes of emotion.

The forms that are presented within both magazine covers contain similarities. Mostly between the placement of advertisement and sell lines. The location of the sell lines on both magazines are located in the same placed and are both expressed through different sizes of font. The colour of the sell lines are slightly different as there is a difference from my poster`s blue coloured text and font compared to the professional magazine cover. That being said, the themes, conventions and fonts conform towards the adventure genre and both magazine sell lines share alike similarities such as layout and size.
