The connotations of this poster of the film "The girl with the dragont tatoo" that show us that it is a thriller start with the colours of Red and Black which are common signifiers of the genre as they symbolise blood and danger and the darkness symbolises mystery and the unknown. You can only see half the girls face meaning theres something we don't know about her and that we will have to watch to find this out which is a good selling point for the film, The bright red dragon contrasts with the dark colours of the poster signifying to us that it will be an important symbol throughout the film.
In this poster of the film "The conversation" the connotations that show us that it is of the thriller genre include the site, which symbolises weapons and also signifies to the adience that someone is being targeted, The man in the foreground shows us hes important and also we can tell by what hes wearing, e.g formal wear and glasses hes intelligant which could imply he is trying to investigate the crime, he also appears to be looking at the people within the site, but also out of the window which is within the context of the film, the saturated feel to the black and white gives us the impression of vintage and the fact the film isn't that modernit also looks photographic which would stick with the investigational idea of this conspiricy thriller.
Finally in the film poster for Firewall we see the conventions of a Action thriller shown clearly by the explosions in the background, to a man running from them, we see two men, both slightly foregrounded but Harrison Ford is more highlighted signifying that he is the protagonist and the other man is clearly the antagonist, the use of modern colours signify that it is quite a new movie, and the sillouette of the man holding a gun signifies violence and danger, which are all signifiers of an Action Thriller.
