Film Posters

There are 3 main types of film posters:

1. Theatrical Poster- This is the films main poster. It contains information about the production personnel, production and distribution company logos, films website, the release date and a tagline. Character posters are included in this poster type. This is where the poster focuses on a character and there have one for each main character.

2. Teaser Poster- This poster contains basic information. It often does not indicate much about the plot, but may have a picture of the stars, and the name of the film. It often has "coming soon" instead of an official date.

3. Dvd Release Poster- This one comes out when the film is released on DVD/video and often has all of the above plus short, one line reviews from relevant publications.
