Making a Film Poster and Conventions of Film Posters


























This is a basic yet effective structure of a film poster. It contains the title, tag line, names of the director and writer, and critique's reviews. The large title grabs the attention of a potential audience, so is something we should use on our film poster. 

       An alternative template depicts a poster that would be more fitting for our genre of film. The red   title conforms to colour conventions of danger and the all capitals font links to the military backstory of the film. A close up of Georgie's face with the faded image of Charlotte behind her would be a good main image for the poster, as this would hint at the film's story and give initial insight into the characters.

Conventions of film posters:
Posters tend to have the names of the main actors across the top which is an effective form of marketing as people are more likely to watch films with their favourite actors in. A release date is often included at the bottom so that any potential audience knows when the film will be available to view. Most film posters include a strip of writing at the bottom which detail the production companies involved in the making of the film, and any other information needed. There is also usually an age certificate near the title, and social media symbols to promote the associated Facebook and Twitter pages.
