The featured "Thriller Poster" shown above uses the conventions of a thriller to great effect. We are fully aware of the fact that the film that is being advertised is in fact a thriller because of the conventions used. Lighting is a key aspect used in the poster - Thrillers use lighting for different reasons, while trying to set up a particular overriding tone or atmosphere for the upcoming film. There is a sense of anxiety and discomfort presented in the poster which engages the audience and makes them hooked onto what the film has to offer. Characters are normally presented in the middle of the frame, this is very much the case for this Thriller poster as we can see a woman shown in the center. The characters' movement and position usually tells us something about the person - as an audience I believe the woman is very ambiguous and presents a sense of mystery.
