One of the ancillary products we must create to accompany our final product is a film poster. I have been doing my research on posters from films created by independent film houses, as I would like to do my poster in a similar style. This posters seems to have a more artistic element to them. Standard film posters created by huge hollywood conglomerate are usually stills from the film, however these posters frequently use drawings or specifically designed grafics for their posters. I have come across a web page, titled "40 Exquisite independent film posters" which I think will help me alot throughout my research.

From looking at the posters featured on this website, I have gained a little insight into typical conventions of film posters of films that are produced by independent film houses. These include;
-Title of the film is generally the largest bit of text featured on the poster
-They feature a credit block, in the same particular font
-They don't always feature the characters
-The images used are quite minimalistic
-They are usually thought through in an artistic way
-They follow a particular colour scheme
