Poster Conventions - "Room 237"

I decided to analyse and annotate a poster from a different genre, to see if the conventions were the same regardless of the genre. The film is "Room 237", it is a documentary of the film "The Shining". I found that many of the conventions were the same as the last poster, despite the fact that they differ in genre. Typical of independent films which are not star driven, the poster uses quotations from reviews and references to awards to help sell the film to audiences.

  1. Excellent analysis, showing a good awareness of the differences between the ways that mainstream and independent films are marketed.
    Good work.
