The poster for The Truman Show uses conventions of science fiction and drama genres to attract an audience interested in unusual and interesting stories. The directer of the film is Jim Carrey, and it released on October 9, 1998. The poster shows Truman sleeping on a giant screen, surrounded by tall buildings and a large crowd below. This makes Truman the main focus of the poster and suggests his private life is being watched by others. The word "LIVE" is written in bright red, making it stand out. The line below, "ON THE AIR. UNAWARE." shows that Truman's life is being broadcasted. This appeals to the audience by making them want to discover what is going on and the poster's purpose is to promote the film and encourage people to watch it.
