Conventions of a film posterBy Halima Alek

Film posters consist of….

Billing block Main image

Actors/directors names

Title of film

Tagline

Social media information

Company ident

Critics ratings

Here you can see the actors name, it s the second largest text, this is because if it is a well known actor it shows their importance and will attract the fan base of the actor.

Here is the tagline, the tagline is usually just below the title of the film and above the billing block.

The main image is the first thing you will see on the poster, it is very large.

The billing block is typically at the bottom of the poster, this has all the extra names on it.
