Poster Comparisons

Green Street Hooligans

The Brick wall used as the background of the poster conotes that the film takes place in an urban environment , as this is the most common place for football stadiums to be and where hooliganism takes place and if they didn't decode this from the title it is reinstated here.

The use of a group of people in the poster represents the sense of gang mentaility, which is a popular convention of British Film Dramas, and the importance of having other people to look out for you in the urban environment the film takes place in.

Legend

The use of two of the main character standing side by side in the poster denotes that the two have a strong family and friend relationship, that they are there to protect each other, which follows the convention of the importance of family in British Film Dramas and the part the family plays in getting into crime. The fact that in Legend and Green Street the narrative is shared between charcters shows that the majority of films in this genre involve side by side stories of individual and so to make our trailer stand out it would make sense to have a narrative that focuses on one character.

The use of a blood red border to the font and the outline of the city connotes that there is a lot of death and viloence throughout the film, again following the conventions.
