Billing of Horror Posters

Below are three examples, of annotated billings from the horror genre:

'Sinister'

'The Strangers' 

'Oculus'

As part of my final task, I will need to create my own Billing that will appear on both my teaser trailer and movie poster. When evaluating the 'Billing' of horror posters, in terms of their conventions, a common pattern was formed in terms of billings layout. Firstly, in almost every post that I looked at, I noticed that the billing appear at the bottom of the Poster. Similarly, when looking at teaser trailers I found that their version of the billing also appeared at the end of the trailer. In addition, when evaluating the billing of posters, I noticed that a common pattern was formed in terms of the layout of its conventions. For example, the name of the production company always appeared at the beginning of the Billing. This is a 'Universal Idea', the name of the production company appearing at the beginning of the billing, is the same for all genre's, not just one specific genre. A second example, is that the name of the director appearing twice in the Billing, once towards the beginning and then right at the end of the billing. 

By analysing these posters in terms of their billing it will help later on in my project, as will have to create my own Billing. As I have highlighted the main conventions and features of Billing in both Posters and Teaser Trailers, by incorporating these existing conventions into my Billing, it will result to the billing look more authentic and realistic.
