the film poster for edward scissorhands shows the two main characters, the image shows that there is a special bond between the two hcaracters. as the character of edward seems scary with the use of costume the way he is portrayed wiht the use of body language shows he is gentle and caring. the film seems to be set in an almost fantays world as edward isnt a normal human being although the connection between him and the girl connotes a real life situation of love and understanding. there is no real indicaion of when the film is set as the setting of the film is unnatural fanasy world although the appearance of the girl shows the film isnt present fromthe way in which she is dressed. the enigma of the film which can be given away by the poster is a romance between the two main characters although from the appearance and first impressions of edward others may be scared or put off by him, in which he cant be accepted into normal life. from the cconventions of the edward scissorhands poster the genre which i feel is shown is both fantasy and romance. from just looking at edward people may think that this film is actually a horror but is infact the total opposite. 
the film poster for this is england shows as gang of skinheads which connotes that they are the main focus of the film. this group of friends show that they are skinheads by the way they are dressed and there body language. they are aged around 15-20 with originality dressing different from most people.
this film seems to be set in a middle or lower class areas with the use of tower block housing estates and the corrigated iron behind them gives them a rough edge and shows a more lower class approach.
the film is set in the 80's as the poster states 'summer 83, a time to stand out form the crowd' also this was the time of skinheads and ska music which can be shown from stereotyping the characters by bpdy language and clothing.
the engima of the film shows that there may be fighting or rivaly between people this is shown by the way in which they are stood they seem to be a gang and have attitude. also the time in which it was set shows there may be issues with racisim and the bnp, it is showing britishness and the issues at that time.
from the codes and conventions of the poster the film genre looks as though it is a drama.
the film poster for grown ups shows exactly who the film is about, it shows a group of adults having fun and almost look like they are behaving like children which acts with the title of the film 'grown ups' as though its a play on words that they are actually grown up but nothing has seemed to change from when they were younger. the image shows a group of 5 friends which connotes that these are the main characters of the film. the fact they are on a water slide shows they are having fun as well as the slogan ' boys will be boys, some longer than others'.
the picture has been taken in a water park this shows that the film is set in present times also in a hot country which has water parks,which is most likely to be america as the main actors are all american.
it is mostly likely to be set in the present as the set seems very modern. also the weather in the picture looks hot therefore this connotes it is set in the summer, possibly in the summer holidays.
from looking at the film poster the enigma that is possible to occur is that the group of friends are to meet up in the holiday after not seeing each other for years in which they act like they did when they were younger, as it comes to the end of the holidays they have to go back to there everyday lives.
from looking at conventions and narrative of the poster the genre the film is mostly likely to be is comedy this is from the actors used are stereotypical comedy actors and the image shows the character laughing and having fun.
