Analysing Conventions of Film Posters - Conclusion

Having looked at five different posters from different genres I've now got a good idea about the conventions that repeatedly or frequently appear in film posters. I'm aiming to use the majority of these in the poster I create for my film.

These are the conventions I found:

Name of the director

Tagline

Certificate/rating

Name of star(s)

Release date

Images of stars

Title of the film

Billing block/credits

Reference to related merchandise

Format

Reviews

Production company logos

Social media links

One main image

References genre
