Most film posters follow similar codes and conventions, that make them eye-catching, memorable and interesting enough to attract audiences to see the film.
The conventions include:

A large dominant title of the film, which is normally the most obvious thing on the poster.

The main image is usually of the main character, it also represents the genre, and hints at what the film may be about.

The actors' names, so fan's of a particular actor may take more interest in the film.

The director's name and possibly producers' as well. This is normally for the same reason the actors' names are on the poster as well, so if people are interested in a director then they are more likely to see the film.

Reviews and ratings, show that the film has good ratings and worth seeing, they can also hint at the kind of film it is.

Release date, shows when the film is coming to cinemas so people know when to go and see it.

Other less common conventions are a catchphrase or hook, or award nominations.
