Colour- This is a main convention of a thriller poster due to the connotations that can occur from it. This is because certain colours can mean different things and can be easily identifiable to the genre. For example the three main colours that I could see that were constantly occurring were red, white and black. I feel that the three colours now symbolize the thriller genre due to the connotations from them. For example, when people see red and a scary image they will think of blood, danger and death as its dripping and scaring people. When people see black they think of nothingness, death and fear as it leaves the imagination wondering what's in the darkness that will affect me negatively. White is the juxtaposition and contrast between the three as its used to stand out and catch the eye of a viewer.
Position of Main Character:
This is also another vital convention in a film poster. They like the attention to be on the main character so that they can emphasize the star power which they have on the film. This will help the distribution because if the audience can identify a world renown actor, they will automatically think the film has to be good in order for the actor to take the job and act in it.
