What is a film

poster?

A film poster is a way of advertising an upcoming film to the public. Usually by adverts on busses, bus stops, shop windows etc. Its purpose is to promote a film and allow the public to decide if it looks like their type of film. A poster consists of an image usually portraying the main character, a title which will entice the audience, also a tagline, list of actors and many more. All these things will help someone decide whether it interests them. It is important it is well designed as the public wont have seen the trailer so it is the first impression of the film.

This image is

eye catching at

a glance and

enticing to look

at when out in

the public.

The title is rather

small yet

effective. The

use of the red

grabs your

attention.

The actors

names at the

bottom are good

for advertising

as certain

people have

favourite

actors/actresses

and also ones

they dislike.

That could

automatically

change

someone's view

on a film.
