Billboard?

As Indie films/coming of age films do not have a big budget, they are less likely to have billboards and have to find other ways to advertise their films. In my opinion a film like mine would not be billboard worthy, however I thought it is still a good idea to think about Billboards and what conventions they need to have to be a successful billboard.

The conventions are:

• A large main image that normally includes a main character or actor that you know, to make the film look more appealing.
• Depending on the audience will depend on if there is a lot of text, but all include a large text being the title.
• Some will include slogans, actors names, credits and the release date, to give a bit more information for the audience.
• Most of the images include a direct mode of address.
