Generic Conventions of a Thriller
In the shutter island poster you see a desolate island which is engulfed by heavy sea's and stormy weather. Also the fact that the picture is at night signifies that most of the film will be set in the dark, making the island seem spooky. We also see barbwire and steep cliffs surrounding the island, making it look impossible to leave. The title is red signifying that there is danger and the smears next to the title means there will be blood and probably some gruesome scenes.
In this poster we see a man levitating from his bed. He looks like he is under somebody elses control, maybe a paranormal force. The light look artificial and could be the light from a UFO that is abducting this man. The text confirms that it is about alien activity and the fourth kind is abduction. The poster also says that it is based on a true story which is a trick to make more people watch it and also to giving people an even bigger thriller.
