I'm going to examine the poster of a new film, which was recently shown in cinemas: Thor: The Dark World. I will analyze body language, facial expression, costumes, props, etc. to demonstrate how poster conventions represent audience genders. Genre is a type of text with particular characteristics that are recognizable to most people. Thor: The Dark World is a hybrid, in other words, it has three main genres: action, adventure and fantasy and some elements of science fiction and romance. Besides the main poster, there are many other posters, games, comics and other supplementary texts for this movie, which can give the audience an idea of what this movie is about, what genres this movie is. For example, I chose another poster and magazine cover for the film. The poster represents many different elements of staging that characterize different genres. It is a hybrid and the main genres are action, adventure and fantasy. Fantasy can be indicated by the overall image of the poster: all the characters, whose appearance we can see more or less clearly...
