What makes a Good Film poster?
Film posters have a clear commercial purpose, which is to promote a film. When creating a film poster it is essential to consider how well the poster fulfils its purpose advertising the film to the target audience. The main duty of a film poster is that it has to reach out to the correct audience; this is done by clearly identifying what genre the film is. An effective example of film poster that reaches out to its direct target audience is ‘The Bourne Identity’, as by just looking at the poster you can tell that the film is a crime thriller due to the finger print which is portrayed as criminal activity. This is known as Iconography, which is where recurring symbolic images are closely linked to specific genres, which is what I want to do with my own film poster, so that its easier for my target audience to relate and know what the films about.
