Bad Behaviour : Content illustrated or designed by Anthony Marriott @ Arkhamhaus Images
For a feature film with an ensemble cast, character posters are sometimes created, each featuring an individual character from the movie. Usually they contain the name of the actor/actress, with or without the name of the character played. Poster Concept art is a form of illustration where the main goal is to convey a visual representation of a design, idea, or mood in this case for the film Bad behaviour before it is put into the final product. Also referred to as visual development / concept design.
The reason behind character posters appears to be twofold – 1) they form part of a large-scale marketing package that includes other traditional elements including teaser trailers, theatrical posters, teaser posters, banners, and 2) they are meant to impart recognition in relation to a large cast of characters, If indeed the film features enough people that are all essential to its narrative, sure, give them their own poster to create interest for the movie-going masses.
Let's not forget Character posters are a cheap and fast way to attempt media buzz. “The technology is better, so you can cook things up faster…and the printing is cheaper, so you can run this shit off like nobodies’ business, and hell, you don’t even necessarily have to print them. Put them online and your client saves cash.” You would be hard pressed to find most of these character creations out in the wild. The majority of today’s character posters exist in digital formats only, easy to diseminate across the interwebs, for example seeimpawards.com
