Now starting on the minor print task, which for the film promotion will be a movie poster, I'll be researching a horror movie, a found footage, and a movie i researched for the major task; Nope. I'll be organizing my research in the same 4 categories: conventions, tropes, cliches, takeaways.
PRINT Minor Task: Inspiration Text Three: Nope Poster
Details: Nope by Jordan Peele, staring Keke Palmer and Daniel Kaluuya. Released in 2022 in theaters. Horror/sci-fi genre.
Conventions: Horror movie posters tend to be either dull or monochromatic color scheme, either fitting the plot or setting of the story. Most horror posters have 1-2 main colors, close-up shot on face.
Tropes: The close up shot of the face, usually giving context to certain parts of the film. This film has 2 really good final posters of the film, the one with the close up of the characters faces are looking up (at the flying alien), following the trope of the close up having to do with the main plot of the film.
Clichés: The scared woman in the poster cliché. Horror movies often have the ‘dumb’ one in the film as I mentioned in researching major tasks, but some posters tend to put this in the poster. E.g: “The Eye 2,” “Quarantine,” “Le Sang Des Innocents”.
Takeaways: Both posters show the overall atmosphere and weather/time of day the film takes place in. Both the posters together tell you everything you need to know about the film. It shows the motifs used and the main characters.
These are the two posters:
