Film posters are created for the public to advertise upcoming films. The content of the poster varies from who it is targeting, such as certain audiences or people in different countries.
In the centre of most film posters is a central image, usually of the actors in the film or a scene shot it self. This central image is very important as it is effective at telling the audiences what genre the film is and what it is going to be out. The tag line also gives the information. A tagline is a slogan located at the top of poster to advertise the film. The tag line is usually a memorable phrase which refers to the plot of the film or is a line from the film itself. Film posters can also include the name of the director, name of the actors, the release date, etc.
The typical location you would find film posters are in and outside cinemas, but the poster is sometimes used in magazines, DVD covers and other advertisements. Overall, I believe that film posters are and have always been an effective way of promoting films all over the world.
For our A2 assignment we have also been asked to create a suitable poster for our short film.
