Conventions of Genre - "Jacob's Ladder"


  • Negative muted colour theme
  • Red font- symbolises blood
  • Blurred central image
  • Mise-en-scene- glasses(vulnerability)
  • Mise-en-scene- pale complextion
This poster is a good example as it clearly portrays what genre it has intended to show. Mainly through two conventions which are- the negative colour theme, this is a main convention in this poster as most of the poster is in just pitch black. The second convention is the dominant central image, this image is blurred and stands out as it is the only image on the page, viewers of the poster can also see the characters facial expression, which again shows conventions of the Horror genre.
