Your next research task is to investigate and outline the typical conventions of film posters and film magazines. Working in pairs, look at a variety of posters and magazines in an effort to establish the common features in each (e.g. look at a variety of genres of films and more than one film magazine - Empire, Total Film, Sight and Sound are some suggestions).
In addition to outlining codes and conventions, I would also like you to start considering how the brand/identity of a film is maintained between trailer and poster (and if possible, when featured on a magazine cover). Be thinking about use of colour, fonts, logos, actors, imagery etc...
