Film Poster Analysis
•

A poster is created along with the film for marketing/advertising purposes. This is done
in order to give the audience a general impression of what to expect to see in the film
in terms of genre, and who stars in it which attracts the audience to go and see the film

•

The basic film poster will have the title of the film as well as one or two characters that
will be featured in the film as well as background image that Tagline reflects the type of
genre of that particular film. Also a lot film posters like to use taglines and pull quotes.
The taglines help to entice the views because of certain words and helps them to
remember the film , to give the film a better reputation since people will assume that
the film is good.

•

When theatrical films became popular, the first type of posters were often painted and
show the main characters in the film with a simple colored background. Painting was
the only option back then because of limited technology – digital professional cameras
and computers weren’t around during that time.

•

Where as in the modern day due to advancement of technology, film posters are now
mostly photographs of one of the character in the film along with a background used in
a certain scene with in the film, plus some extra effects(e.g. Computer generated
images, lighting, and airbrushing)

•

Primary Characteristics:
The scenery behind is of a smiling young Indian boy sitting at a desk, with his head
rested on his folded arms infront of him. Behind him and to his right, a young
Indian man is doing the same and is looking at the boy. Above them is the film’s
title “Taare Zameen Par” with the sub-title of “Every child is special”. Drawings of
fish, bird, octopus, plane are in the background. This helps to compliment the
story of my film as the scene on the poster from the film details Ishaan tutoring by
Nikumbh.

simplicity, thus reflects his personality.
