Layout of a Film Poster


I have looked at the typical layout of a film poster. Above is a template of how a film poster should look like. This includes all the general information that must be shown such as the title, tagline, actors and the crew names. 

Usually the Title would be on the lower third and large so it stands out immediately to the viewer. This is followed by important names and credits. The institution logo and name would also be on there along with the website links. It enforces convergence as viewers would be moved from one platform to another through the link.

Certain features of the poster would be used as a selling point such as the awards which shows that the film is good. Some film posters would use a well-known director or actor's name to encourage fans to watch as well.

For my short film poster, I will try to stick to this layout to make sure it conforms to the codes and conventions of a typical short film poster. This layout would ensure that it is visually appealing the the audience.
