Wasteland:
This film poster is of the Crime Thriller film Wasteland. The main image on the poster is of the main protagonist in the film. The poster typically follows the codes and conventions of both genres, as it has the main image covering a majority of the poster and the fact the protagonist is holding a crowbar also hints at the genre, as this may be used as a weapon or as a way of breaking into something. Also, what the protagonist is wearing indicates that this is an up-to-date film, which may be appealing to the films target audience. The angle of the camera is tilting slightly up to look up at the protagonist, which may indicate superiority and power which could reveal some of the narrative for the film.
The film title 'Wasteland’ is conventionally placed bottom centre of the page, which draws the audience’s attention to the title. The title itself is large, bold and clear, it also contrasts against the colour of the protagonist’s jacket, making it stand out and easy to read. Below the title is the name of the director, which would help to promote the movie if they are interested in that particular directors work.
The poster includes a tagline at the top centre of the page, just above the protagonist’s head, which says ‘He gave a year of his life. Now he’s stealing it back.’ The tagline helps to aid the narrative and inform the audience what the films about. It also hints at the genre, as revenge is a common convention of a Crime film. This is also in a dark text so that it contrasts with the light background.
The billing block is placed at the bottom of the page along with the institution, which is a familiar convention to film posters as it allows the producers and institutions acknowledgements to be included in the poster. The text is small in size so that is doesn’t take the attention away from the posters main image.
