Didn't know there are so many details and strategies within a poster. Inspiring!

The talented Dawn Baillie (BLT) designed the iconic Silence of the Lambs poster. She is really ahead of her time in this male-dominated business!

I love the Saul Bass posters of course, but some of my favourite more recent posters are Trainspotting, Little Miss Sunshine and Moon.

I would like to incorperate some movie poster art in some short films I am producing and would like to know if I need permission first ?

Great info but unfortunately not suitable to use for younger audiences due to the examples given. How about making the same video with content that is ok to share with kids?

So strange to say Ingrid Bergman’s prominent position and scale next to Humphrey Bogart means she’s a love interest because of the time the film was produced. No, it’s still the same today. Hetero relationships are still overwhelmingly the norm. Sorry, not sorry.
