FILM POSTER: Conventions to consider

From researching many film posters of the horror genre, I have seen how different conventions need to be considered before producing my own. Conventions I will have to consider are:

• The use of credits - If they are nessecary
• Tagline
• Release date being in different colouring to the rest of the image and font
• Title being large and different colour from other font
• Colour scheme to suit my films genre
• Including director in large font
• Including main actor in large font
• If there will be a lot of information included, or if it will be more of a teaser poster - similar to the Let Me In poster which does not have much information.
