Se7en - Director David Fincher
A film of the thriller genre, which will apply directly to my project, has the title in clear sans serif text identifying the title immediately, the text is iconic to the film genre and with the rough harsh texture in the background instigates a gritty film. Thriller tends to keep simple sans serif text throughout and as shown in this poster the main actors shown prominently at the top of the screen which can draw attention from fans and enhance the films status, slogan under the title "seven deadly sin. seven ways to die" addressing the narrative and indicating the plot. down the centre of the page the sins are displayed reinforcing narrative.
One aspect that tends to lend itself to all genres are having the pictures of scenes and actors cut and cropped from actually footage of the film, actors looking into the camera again interacting with the viewer,both Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman emotionally have a sense of shock worry and intent on there face which is thought through by the designers to convey the emotion and mood of the film.


codes and conventions of the thriller genre poster that i have found or feel i should incorporate:

. title in centre bottom of the page
. production crew and promotions at the very bottom over black drawing as little attention as possible
. font depict the target audience and genre i.e sans serif is more masculine and is used in the thriller genres
. colour and style schemes again link narrative
. slogan depict narrative
. date of realise shown
. certificate
. the posters must have an effect on the audience draw attention and sell the film
