Film posters are used inside and on the outside of movie theaters, and elsewhere on the street. The same image would appear in a film exhibitor's pressbook and may also be displayed on websites, DVD-packaging, flyers, advertisements in newspapers and magazines, etc.
Use of film posters goes back to the earliest public adverises of film, where they started as outside placards listing the programme of (short) films to be shown inside the hall or movie theater. By the early 1900s, they began to feature illustrations of a scene from every individual film or an array of overlaid images from some scenes. Other movie posters have used artistic interpretations of a scene or even the theme of the film, represented in a wide variety of artistic styles. Movie posters are produced in a large number of sizes to meet various advertising needs.
