Film posters always existed since before the apparition of cinema. Film posters were used by theatres to promote their shows. In the 40’s and 50’s colour was mainly dominating in the poster and the name of the actor was written in big colourful capital letters. In the 60’s and 70’s more space was started to be given to images in the poster most of the images were “painting” representing one of the scenes in the movie. In the 80’s different ways of illustration were introduced but many blockbusters decided to keep the classic “painting” e.g Indiana jones. In the nineties, the compositions with photographic images of the actors clearly prevails on artistic illustrations, graphics research became marginal. The posters are rare to remember, we can mention for example on The Silence of the Lambs or American Beauty.
My genre has a very particular type of posters. The 2 poster which my poster will look mostly alike will be the ones of paranormal activity and grave encounters.
there are set of rules i shall follow in order to enable my poster to be successful and to attract viewers.
Rule 1 : the prevailing colour must be black
Rule2: the title needs to be very visible and of bright colours
Rule 3: there must be an image of the movie as main picture. Possibly the picture of a place rather than a person
Rule 4 : reviews must be introduced in the poster. (e.g “don’t see alone” … “fear is real” etc.)
Rule 5 : credits must be placed at the bottom of the poster.
