Poster Research

Our second ancillary task was to create a poster for our short film, we found that there are two types of posters in the film industry. One is a teaser poster, this is an early promotional film poster that has a basic image or design, but does not reveal too much information about the film. The second poster is an advertisment poster which is used to draw the audiences attention, the image is usually big and eye catching, with important information like who is starring, the film company and the tag line for the film. Our group decided that we wanted to create both posters, below is two poster images from the movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the image on the left is a teaser poster and the image on the right is the advertisment poster, you can see the difference between the two posters.
