Film poster research


Like trailers and magazines, film posters have certain conventions, designed to draw an audience in. In the same way a magazine uses the "Z Pattern" film posters also implement a similar technique to draw the audience's eye along the most interesting/important parts of the poster. This is demonstrated by the green lines.

Another common feature is to tell the audience about different people who appear in the film, as an additional selling point, in this particular poster this is incorporated into the " Z Pattern" at the top of the poster.

Film posters will also place the name of the film in a fairly obvious location to ensure that are interested will know the name of the film, the purple box demonstrates this. Tag lines are another thing that is usually present on film posters, the tag line helps to give some information about the film, and usually are fairly catchy, "In space no one can hear you scream" is a good example of this, to this day it is still quoted and parodied. Incorporated into the tag line of this poster is a date for the release, which ensures people know when the film will actually be released.

Finally the production logos and text , highlighted by the purple, is usually placed at the bottom of the poster in the typical condensed font. Another example poster which contains some of the features but not all.
