Types of Film Posters

There are many different types of film posters and these are a few: Teaser poster, Video/DVD release poster, genre identification, character poster and the main poster.
A character poster features an individual character, or an ensemble of characters from the film. This character poster may contain a tagline that gives off a reflection of the character.
A teaser poster, which is also known as an advanced poster is a promotional poster. The purpose of this is to alert target audience members of a new upcoming film and to create hype.

The main places where a film poster is known to be published are: billboards, bus stops, on buses, underground stations and cinemas.

Through thorough research about different types of film posters, my partner and I have decided that we are going to do a standard sized A4 poster.






 Due to the variation of different film posters, there are many different sizes.                      Large companies who have a big budget are able to create these large variations in film posters, whereas smaller companies are unable, therefore they make one or two.
