The document discusses conventions for movie teaser posters. It notes that teaser posters typically include the release date and a foreshadowing slogan. They often feature a shocking image that hints at a major plot point. It also discusses using a lineup of main character faces, like in Reservoir Dogs, or focusing on the protagonist. However, the poster described in the document chose to have a large central image and elaborate title font instead of focusing on amateur actors. It aims to make the title stand out against a simple black background by using a bright, elaborate font.

our own teaser has
conformed to.

3. We challenged traditional
teaser posters by creating
a line up similar to the one
from Quentin Tarantino’s
Reservoir Dogs where all
the main characters face’s
are on display and a
foreshadowing show of
the protagonist running in
the centre

5. This is a common convention when
there are well known big name actors in
the film, we decided against it as we are
all amateur actors.

The poster is set upon a black
background, meaning the title will
stand out, making the title more
visible from a distance. The title for
the film uses an elaborate, bright
font, which stands out against the
black background of the rest of the
poster.
