Film posters - common conventions

Film posters are always most likely to appear in cinema's when the date is nearing to their release. There are also many different other places they may be shown. They can be on Bus Shelters and sometimes even Buses themselves with of course many appearing on the internet on the films website or on any other website with an interest in upcoming films.

The main purpose of a film poster is to raise awareness of the film and try and draw in as many people as they can to view the film. This is often done by including the main characters on the poster as the direct object the audiences eye is drawn to. I have taken this into careful consideration when making my film poster as I decided to put the villain of the movie on the front as he is the main focus of the film and the mystery he carries with him is one that is sure to hook the audience.
