conventions of a film poster.

There are many conventions to a film poster. Some follow these strictly, or some challenge them by not including some, or using them in different ways. You could include:

• title
• picture
• slogan
• actors that attract attention
• awards
• release date
• directors
• information (normally in small print)
• production company
• website
• reviews

It is important to make film posters grab attention, so you could emphasise well known actors, use bold colours, large font for the title or a catchy, pursuasive slogan.
