Detailed film poster research

As part of my film poster research i have chosen to look in detail at several aspects of film posters. What was instantly noticeable to me is that while some posters feature a wide range of information including  Film titles, Release dates, cast information and production/distribution company logos. others are a lot more simple and only feature the films title and maybe one lead character or a quote from the film. all the screen shots below show the most informative posters i was able to find. when looking at the posters below there are several aspects we could include in the design of our film are the use of short one line featured ofter underneath the films title to grab the audiences attention 'the future begins" & 'absolutely nothing in moderation" are just two examples of this. Each of the six posters below all feature either a release date or a coming soon tag line along with a web adress of the film. to make our poster more professional we could take this idea and apply it to our designs. 

The first thing i looked at when analyzing the posters is the text of the main title here both the font and the colour is essential to the overall feel of the poster. as it will be the largest tex on the page designers can be more creative with this font and are able to reprisent the feel of the film more. two good posters to look a in this post are the rum diary and casino royal. the way rum diary represents the film is the slanted style drunk text highlighted bye the difference in colour. casino royal on the other hand features a motion blur possibly representing the fast pace and car chases included in the film.

The next thing i choose to look at was the main body of text after some research ive discovered that the font used is called steel tongs. whats interesting about this body of text is the difference in size between important and minor filler text  words such as "and the as" are all in a smaller size than the name of the actors or key characters.

Finally i looked at the bottom line on all the posters, this normally features the logos of all producers and distributers that contribute to the production of the film. to make our film more representative of a true movie poster we will need to include this information in ouf film poser.
