Posters appeared many years ago. In times when collage and wide array
of various colors were just a dream for a painter, movie posters were
simple, made in a few strict lines, but nowadays movie
posters
is a powerful and one of the main means of film advertising. New
computer technologies appeared to create different kinds of posters and
the enormous set of available colors is nothing that
contemporary painter can hope for compared with the computer programs
allowing to create new generation of posters in 3d format. Horror movie
posters, comedy film posters, drama movie posters, they all are
available in free access, everybody can buy movie posters to his own
taste and according to his\her financial possibilities.
A special word should be said about old movie posters. It is a real
science to learn to recognize the originality of old movie posters.
Just because a seller puts a poster into the category named "vintage
posters", it does not mean that you buy movie posters
which are really original ones. Original vintage movie
posters
were limited in their printing and that is why they are the subject for
constant searches by the collectors. The price for an old movie poster
may be
thousands of dollars and as a rule, original movies posters are not
so easy to be found. There are posters which were printed
not
for sale and they should have been sent back to the studio or have been
destroyed. So, the more rare poster is, the higher the price. |
