Conventions
Of A Film
Poster (Short
and Major)
- TYPE OF POSTERS
- CHARACTER
POSTERS:
The main
character will
appear at the
centre of the
poster, thus
drawing
attention from
the audience
to the
character.
This allows
the actors
fans/followers
know that
(s)he is in that
particular
movie. Then
the fans will
buy more
tickets to
watch the
movie and the
film will earn
more money.
- NAME DROP POSTERS: These posters are similar to 'Character Posters' as
they are created to entice the audience to watch the film because of the long
list of stars they have working on the film. The reason they advertise all names
on these types of poster is to bring in as much revenue from the actors
themselves. We normally on see these ensemble type works on comedies or
multiple narrative films.

- ICONIC POSTERS: These posters use iconic images from the move,
or if it's a sequel the pervious movie. The images is normally linked to
the theme or plot of the film itself, so the audience can have a taste of
what the film may entail.
- INTEREST POSTERS: These types of posters are created to create interest
in the film itself. These posters often give a clue about what the theme of plot
is within the film without saying too much about it. These posters can also be
classed as teaser posters (posters that appear before the full poster and only
really offer a date and a iconic image). The posters itself can be misleading
about the film, thus bring the audience into the film them giving them a
different product than they expected.

- WHAT DO FILM POSTERS INCLUDE?
- IMAGE: There is always an
image with a film poster.
The image would illustrate
the movie easily, and give
simple pointers into what
the film will entail.
- TITLE AND NAMES: The poster will include both the title and names of
the actors that star within the film. The only way the title does not
appear on the poster is if the film is well known/sequel then sometimes
only the image and a date appear.
- TAGELINE:
a tagline will
be used on
the posters
this shows
what sort of
film it is and
is normally
very
memorable
- ADDITIONAL
CREDITS: Many
posters also include
credits from the
essential personnel that
create the film. These
include the directors,
producers, the
composers as well as
the film company and
film studios.
- ADDITIONAL
FEATURES: Film poster
also include other
features such as the
movie rating. Some
include the opening date
of the film. Some have the
type of film and sound
system used, with the
additional cast and crew,
the URL for the movie's
website and a copyright
notice and award
information.

- SHORT FILM POSTERS
- Short film posters are generally similar to major film posters and use many of the same
feature: Title; names of actors and image. The only real difference is that short film
posters have less information of the posters themselves.
- The posters give small clues
about what the short film entails.
Such as the theme and/or genre
of the film too.
- The images of short film posters only contain one or two characters, as they usually only contain a small
number of characters to keep the narrative easy to follow. The image of the character is usually the main focus
for these types of posters.
- They contain general
information about the
directors, producers and
composers if there are
needed. They normally
produce the information
such as the film company
and production company on
the poster. As this is classed
as generic information
needed on a poster.
- Short film posters are generally similar to major film posters and use many of the same
feature: Title; names of actors and image. The only real difference is that short film
posters have less information of the posters themselves.
- WHAT IS THE
DIFFERENCE BETWENN
MAJOR FILM, SHORT
FILM AND TEASER FILM
POSTERS?
- There isn't a major difference between the three types of poster.
- The difference between a 'Major' film poster and it's 'Teaser' poster is hardly nothing. One, there is
more text or information on a major poster rather than a teaser poster. This is because a teaser does
exactly what it says, it teasers the audience into wanting to know more. They normally have a simple
image or normally a iconic image from the film, that alludes to the theme, setting or plot of the story.
- There isn't a major difference between the three types of poster.
