Although the thriller genre is extremely varied compared to other genres, within the thriller genre there are several sub genres which means that within the films there is a high degree of similarity.
Below are three different film posters for sub-genre films, however they all use the same conventions in order to create these texts. ( Nightcrawler, Sin City: A Dame to kill for & The November Man - all Crime Thrillers )
Through the use of Mise en scene we can clearly see what type of genre this film is most likely to be. The lighting in this picture is very dark which contrasts with the title font which is very bright. The man is standing on his own makes him look independent which connotes the idea that he may be the main character.
This poster is also very dark like the Nightcrawler. However from the poster the audience see a lot more characters than they do in the one above. Both of these posters use the colours black and red which connotes an evil and death theme again very similar to the NightCrawler.
This poster again uses the colours red and black connoting evil and death. Similar to the first poster we only see one character again telling the audience that this man is clearly independent and may be the main character.

From looking at these three posters we as the audience can see that although they are different films they all use the same conventions in order to portray there sub - genre. All of these film posters use the colours black and red and they all have dark use of lighting which suggests an unpleasant tone to the audience.
