Fim Posters in Popular Culture

There are a number of images, which today we would immediately recognise, whether it’s a symbol, a pop group, an iconic figure or a film. Film Posters are a way of advertising your movie to the world, however sometimes they can capture people's attention, and be printed again and again onto tops, covers, wall posters etc. Some of the most famous and well known movie posters are quite a few years old, but still today we recognise it and it becomes something iconic to us.



'Jaws' for example is a world-wide bestselling film, with the iconic Great white shark. This poster has the classic image of the massive Great White shark, about to strike the midnight swimmer in the film's opening sequence. This poster has sold for thousands of pounds in today's market.



Another iconic film poster is the horror 'Alien' which was released in 1971. The artwork of this poster has been coolly designed, with a hint of the horror that is lurking around. The egg at the centre of the poster, suggests something is going to appear soon, with the green tones of colour cracking out, giving the poster an eerie tone, as well as the striking opening title sequence.
