This is the original film poster for a documentary film called First Position. I really like how everything is centered between the two buildings, as along with the lighting this helps to focus the viewer's attention to the important parts of the poster. It also makes the eye follow down between the two buildings. The two buildings either side look like stereotypical American buildings. This conveys a sense that the film is set in America.
Analysis of The Features Included in this Film Poster
How Does this Poster Follow the Codes and Conventions of a Film Poster
- It includes the title of the film, which stands out against the brown/gold background. This is an important feature of the poster, as it tells the audience the name of the film before they go and see it. It also gives some indication as to what the film is about.
- It includes the script at the bottom, which is usually in capital letters. This gives information about the production company the writer etc.
- The image is the main feature, as it takes up the whole of the poster. The image also helps to imply what the film is about if the audience has not seen the trailer. The audience can decide from the image what type of film it is and whether they would enjoy it.
How Does this Poster Not Follow the Codes and Conventions of a Film Poster
- The poster does not include the names of the cast. Therefore the audience does not know what actors/actresses are in the film. Sometimes this helps the audience decide if they will go and see the film depending on if a certain person is starring in it.
- The poster includes a slogan, which gives an outline of the films narrative.
- It also includes film reviews and the awards that it has won.
