1. Do you Subvert Conventions within the Print Product?
In the Print Product I do subvert conventions, an example of this is with the optical focus, this is because usually the focus on a crime movie poster will be the title of the film or the entire main cast within the film, though on the poster that I have created the optical focus is upon the single main actor within the actor pointing a gun at the camera directly, I believe this is still a strong poster although it goes against the conventions of a Crime Poster because it still displays the main aspects of the film while still representing what the current film is about.
Another time that I have subverted the conventions within the Print Product is, including the face of the villain within the background of the movie poster, the reason I have done this is that the villain is wearing a mask and will still remain mysterious while stil allowing for the mask to have significance for the user within the trailer, this will also help them to easily understand the roles of the villain and the main lead of the film. Though this has now changed due to my audience feedback stating that this effect looked "Cheap" for this reason I chose to not include this in my poster.
2. Do you Conform to Conventions within the Print Product?
In the Print Product I also conform to the conventions of a Crime Poster, this is apparent through the use of colour-scheme, I maintained a clear and set colour-scheme throughout the entirety of the project, with a heavy basis upon White, Black and Red as it shows a clash between good and bad. This allows for the viewer to instantly recognise the context of the poster.
I have also conformed to conventions through the use of Text Format, I have used the same text font throughout the entirety of the project, this text font is Pantera, which allows for the user to instantly recognise the connection between the movie poster and the film trailer product creating a distinct link.
I have also conformed to conventions through the print product using labels, I have distinctly and easily labeled the main actor and the villain of the film and who they are played by, this allows for the viewer of the print product to easily recognise the roles of each of the two actors within the front cover.
Another example of when I have conformed to the conventions is that, I have used the rule of thirds within my print product, this has allowed me to easily distribute the information around the entirety of the print product rather than leaving more empty space than necessary.
Another example of when I have conformed to the conventions of a Crime magazine is when, I have listed a date within the Movie Poster, I have used this date in the lower section of the poster, this allows for the viewer to easily recognise the release date of the movie and will be the last thing that the viewer sees and will remember. This conforms to conventions easily.
The final example of when I have conformed to conventions within the Movie Poster is, the usage of props, this is easily apparent as the main villain of the film is wearing a large mask to conceal his identity which adds a layer of depth and mystery to the print product, this is also apparent through the main actor pointing a gun directly at the camera which follows the conventions of a crime film.
3. Do you Develop Conventions within the Print Product?
An example of when I have developed conventions within the Print Product is through the usage of colour scheme, this is apparent because usually within a film trailer there is a strong colour chosen as the main colour of the product, usually Red or Black, though for my product I have chosen to use both Red and Black, this has allowed me to emphasise the factor of the good and evil in the movie that I have created, the black has also allowed me to enhance the usage of the enigma code.
Another example of when I have developed the conventions within the Print Product is through the usage of having the Main villain within the film on the magazine poster, though albiet in the background, this is going against conventions as the villain is usually mysterious and unknown, though to make the applicable and suitable for my movie poster, the villain is wearing a mask, allowing him to maintain anonymity and mystery throughout the trailer.
