we are learning about the poster!!!!

So I wanted to do a blog post that explains the conventions of a movie poster because I did unfortunately mess this up during the last project that I needed to develop a movie poster for. Therefore I believe it will be very beneficial to include this information here for me to refer back to in the future, seeing that I need it.

Here we go, conventions of a movie poster:

-title font alludes to genre
-tagline used to promote the film
-color scheme also is significant and alludes to the genre
-to be eye catching
-focal picture to draw audience eye
-clearly define genre
-designed to attract large audience
-indication of when release
-billing block at the bottom with info regarding directors and production company
-reviews or titles of other films that the company has produced
-include website or links to social media

Now I am going to include some iconic examples that may help me out:
