Poster Reseach

In order to develop our own poster firstly it was vital to look into other film posters and the important aspects of a great poster. I believe The Kings Speech poster is a quality example.The first aspect of a great poster is the photography, using a photograph that gives you some idea of the film genre and also a viewing of the main character or characters. For example this poster shows your two main characters in costume and both been famous faces helps towards the viewing of the poster plus the overall success of the film.

The second important part to a poster is the way the text is displayed and the amount of text on display. To much text can overwhelm the viewer and distract the viewers attention from the actual film. The most successful film posters are usually full of text. This is a great example as the import names and the title are really the only interest to the viewers that's why the over information is in such a small font.

Finally its great to put quotations and ratings from well known organizations to advertise your film. Only good comments and rating though no one wants to see a film that has a rating of two stars so four and five stars are only acceptable on film posters. One other major floor is not having ratings and quotations from magazines and newspapers that are not well known as the idea of a rating is that someone well known rates the film. This film poster is a fantastic example of a film poster and is one of the main assets of why this film was so successful.
