Examples of previous film posters and what is essential in a film poster

As you can see in the college of posters above there are many different styles depending on the genre of the movie; although some posters have a recurring theme when it comes to the information displayed on it. Commonly posters consist of a photograph or illustration (spending how the film is made either by film or animation) of the main characters. All these images are Hollywood cinema films and none are really seen as a short film. Not many short films are advertised in the same way as for example a Hollywood blockbuster would be. 

These are what I would suggest is esential in a film poster :

- the tittle of the film
- and image or illustration of main characters or a scene from within the movie 
- people's names who are staring in the movie
- something intriguing that doesn't give away too much; something that provides enigma
