Today I was going to make a post about conventions of a crime poster but have decided to postpone that until tomorrow as when I typed in 'Crime Movie Posters' to get a wide variety I found these Red Widow posters and instantly recognised them but not because they are from the film Red Widow because they are very widely known as 'The Godfather' poster and 'Scarface' poster and I realised though out the day I couldn't get the Red Widow title out of my head until I Googled what the film is about, now weather this is a clever marketing technique to promote the film by linking it to current very popular films at the same time it could just be someone who has photo shopped the posters with subtle changes either way I am under the assumption not a lot of people may come across these same posters and it is making me consider taking one of the great well known films for my genre (e.g. Goodfellas-Crime) and creating a slight link to my movie poster.
