Dimensions for my Film Poster

Another consideration which i had to take into account during the production of my film poster was where my poster was going to be situated to best attract the audiences; for example whether i was going to design my poster following the dimensions and format of a bus poster or if i was going to produce it in the format of a billboard poster or bus stop poster.

I decided that i was going to produce my film poster to the standards of a bus stop poster, or a poster to be situated and displayed in cinemas as i decided this was a good size to attract the audiences attention, as after researching into film posters i discovered that they need to be big and bright to catch the attention of the audience and provoke their interest into the film.

I also decided that bus stop posters were continually in the publics view meaning that they where more likely to be seen and therefore more people will notice the movie poster and want to go and see the film. Also as people are traditionally waiting around at bus stops it means that they generally are stood around waiting and their attention will inevitably be drawn in by the colourful and bright movie poster, also due to the audience being waiting around they will have more time to take in the film poster and look at its effects and be encouraged to go and see the film.

Also as bus stops are situated by roads, they generally have the same affects as billboards as they are big and stand out and attract the drivers attention as they are passing, it also advertises the film to people sitting waiting on the bus whose attention will again be drawn to the image and the bright text will jump out and attract the audiences attention having the affect of the films name sticking in the audiences mind.
