Poster Analysis 1 - 'Scream'

'Scream' is from the horror genre, which is obvious from the image and other conventions - the poster, however shares many conventions of layout and features that are found in the other posters which are from different genres.

The main conventions that I found on this poster were a dominant central image of the main character (that indicates genre), a tagline, billing, the names of actors, various logos, a website, the name of the director and the title of the movie. It will be interesting to see if these appear on the other posters from different genres.
