Technology - Slide Presentations


Cinema advertising content delivery systems, how the ads are displayed on screen, continue to evolve. Theatres have any number of options available to them including: 35mm slides and film (rolling stock) and Standard Digital, and Hi-Definition (Hi-def).

35mm Slide Presentations
Once prevalent in most theatres displaying cinema advertising, 35mm slide advertising continues to appear in theatres and offers advertisers the opportunity to reach movie audiences by placing their ad in a slide projector carousel that is made up of a combination of entertaining content, theatre messages, and cinema advertising. Often this type of delivery offers multiple exposures to an audience as the carousel loops during the pre-show seating period.

Regarding production, it's important to be simple and precise — keeping visuals and text to a minimum. Additionally, sharp contrast between the background and the text will result in a more successful campaign. Typically, light-colored text against a dark background will help the text "pop" off the movie screen.

Media rates vary by vendor; production and shipping fees may apply.
