I have created a house style in my poster by using consistent colours, red, black and white.It follows conventions because it has a quote,image, slogan, credits and when it is coming

out.

I have chosen for the actors to be holdingdifferent props. Two of the three nerds

areholding nerdy items like a lightsaber and school books whereas one is holding a crate of beer. This gives a bit of the

storyline and this is conventionalfor the image to give away a bit of the

plot.

My poster is conventional because it creates a house style like the Superbad poster. It also has a long shot image of the main

characters. The title scene is in sans serif font and is the biggest font on the page to make it stand out. There are also movie credit fonts at the bottom these are conventional because they are used in every film poster. Finally, the coming soon is also conventional

as in everyfilm poster there is either a release date or coming soon.

I have created a house style on this magazinefront cover by using only three colours; red, black

and white. I have chosen these colours so it relatesto my film and therefore the audience will be

able to associate the magazine with Graduation.

used are sans serif to make them easy to read and also are bold and have bright vibrant colours to make them stand out. Both magazines have the date, issue number and website which is conventional. The images are similar because they both show

who is in the main article as this is very conventional. On the main article there is a brief description to the article which is alsoconventional as it makes the reader want to read more.
