Film posters can be represented in popular culture in many different ways. Obviously you will see film posters in the area of a cinema, they advertise their goods to attract people to come and watch the movies. But do all the big hit movies get that place on the wall around the area of the cinema's. As the cinema's are businesses they aim to attract as many customers as possible, to do this they must feature the most attractive or most popular films within the showcase of film posters. You will always see the most attractive, big budget, hollywood block-busters in the showcase for film posters. This is just the way they are represented in popular culture. Sometimes the film posters will be accompanied or integrated with cardboard cut outs of the main characters of the movie.
This is an example of a cinema displaying film posters.
However film posters can be represented in different manners, they are also on sale to the public enabling the public to appreciate and buy their favourite films posters. They can use this to serve as a reminder to the feeling's felt whilst watching the movie, it is also used to appreciate a certain actor/actors with posters dedicated just to them in the feature film. Stars such as megan fox would be seen in a seductive pose to seduce and attract consumers to watch the movie and buy the film poster.
If you look at this film poster you can see that Megan Fox is used as the protagonist in this poster, it is appealing to the people that appreciate the beauty of a women, along with the seductive post and slight view of her breasts, it all add's up to be a successful attraction to see this movie or buy this film poster. Some people will buy posters like this to both appreciate the movie and appreciate the actors involved (Megan Fox's breasts in this case) this is smartly "abused" by the film as they know people (in particular boys) like to see this kind of semi-nudity in a film and film poster.
There is still other ways that film posters are represented in popular culture, they are printed on to t-shirts so you can wear, show and appreciate the film poster and serve as a reminder to the love of that film. It is particularly successful when the film poster represents some sort of comic outlook. Or in the case of transformers, an attractive actress on the front revelling slight semi-nudity. As a young teen, having a well renowned attractive figure with partial breast showing is a popular choice. For this reason it makes it successful in the popular culture. However they are not always in production, the most popular is that of movie super heroes. Everyone appreciates their childhood superhero on a shirt, it is seen as comical and dare I say it "cool".
