Poster conventions
-Tagline -
This can set the tone for the poster, as an engaging or mysterious tagline can
leave the viewing public wanting to know more. A Tagline should leave the
person who has just read it wanting to look on further into the poster.
-Title for the
film - This is clearly a big importance to the poster, as it defines the name
of the film. The style for this tends to vary although the concepts of the
title for the film will always have the same aim, to grasp the attention of the
public. A large font and special text will do this.
-Actor names -
This is also a frequent feature among film posters, although the names of the
credited actors tend to be more discrete and placed at the bottom of the poster
for example. The main actors names will appear at some point on the poster and
also the actors themselves in their roles may appear also.
-Film related
images - It will always help if film related images appear at some point on the
poster, this can be to unveil more to the viewing public. Although depending on
the film genre this can vary, as a genre such as horror may have not many
images relating back to the film, this could be to create a sense of mystery
amongst the viewers and also to leave them guessing.
-Release date
- This is a key feature also, as once the poster has been examined and the
ideas of the film have been discovered, the viewer will want to know when the
film is to be released.
-Website for
film - A link to the film is always useful to the viewing public, especially if
they are interested in gaining more of an insight into the film, or perhaps
they want to explore the concepts of the film further such as explore the soundtrack
to the film, look more into the characters or even engage in a Twitter or
Facebook conversation
