Genre Posters - 'The Girl on the Train'

 

• A convention of the genre is a character will have a disturbing mind in some way. This is emphasised on the film poster as a medium close up of her face connotes troubled eyes and distress
• The colour codes used on the film poster are dark and blurry and this represents the genre
• The girl on the image is spying on the house, this is another convention of the genre where an outsider looks in
• The size of Emily Blunt's face is much larger than the house in the background, this could connote her power as an antagonist which is often seen in this genre
• There is a lot of mystery in this film poster ‘what did she see’ which is another convention of this genre where there is lots of enigmatic twists
