Conventions of Poster Design & Distribution

What do all film posters have in common?

• Main Character(s) Image
• Noticeable Title
• Background Image = Hints into Genre
• Newspaper Reviews & Ratings
• Awards
• Tag-line

Distribution

A very highly competitive business and used to gain the widest audience figures for their upcoming film(s). Because of the distributors, films become more known and to do that it is their job to find potential in that film and bring it to the market. Word-of-mouth is a result in distribution, as one person sees the poster then passes it on to someone they know, and on, and on. They create a 'want to see buzz' into the audience, just by the poster, without seeing anything from the film.
