Poster Conventions - Introduction

For my first research task I am going to look at posters from a variety of genres in terms of conventions of design and layout that they all share, so that I can use as many of these conventions in my posters when I make it.

I have chosen 'Scream 4' from the Horror genre, 'Miss Meadows' from the Drama genre, 'Rumour Has It' from the Romantic Comedy genre, 'Taken' from the Thriller genre and 'Lawless' from the Crime genre.
