5. All in all
• Big and bold font and therefore clear title.
• The vast majority of the short film posters consists of the
protagonist, this seems to be an important convention of short film
posters.
• Conventionally the lighting and positioning of the actors will reflect
on their role of the actors. For example, if an actor is placed in the
middle of the frame, it would mean that he/she is the main
character.
Other conventions
• Portrait
• Simple
• Bald fonts
• Unique & Original
• Minimal text
