Different types of film advertisement

2. POSTERS
All films have film posters that are put everywhere to
accompany the film trailer. They are on bus stops,
buses and outside cinemas. They are designed to get
people’s attention and to make them want to find out
more about the film. They are always in the style of
the film and normally include the tagline, starring
actors and the title of the film.

3. TV INTERVIEWS
Another way that the film
industry promote their film
is by booking lots of talk
shows and interviews for the
stars to go on in order to
make the movie well known.
In America stars go on shows
such as Saturday Night Live,
Late Night with Jimmy
Fallon, The Late Late Show
with James Cordon. In the UK
stars are normally
interviewed on shows such as
The Graham Norton Show, Alan
Carr: Chatty Man and The
Jonathan Ross Show. This
gets the film out to the
wider audience and makes the
film well known, before it
has come out.

4. Billboards
Billboards are used by most
films as a way to get the
films out to the general
population. They are
normally in a place with a
high amount of traffic
meaning that they get seen
by as many people as
possible. This gives the
film more exposure, they
have to be eye catching and
get the message across in a
matter of seconds.

5. Magazine Interviews
Near the time of the release of the
film there will normally be magazine
interviews about the film to promote
it. This is another tactic used to get the
film out to the wider audience. IT also
provides the audience a personal
interaction with the main character as
the interviews are normally the main
feature of the interview. They can talk
about what happens behind the
scenes giving the audience a insight
into the movie.
