What is a Tagline?

A tagline is a type of branding slogan used in marketing. Ideally a tagline is a memorable phrase (one or two sentences, at the most) that sums up the tone and premise of a brand or product (like a film), or to reinforce the audience's memory of a product.

Most movies use taglines, particularly as part of the movie's marketing poster. You will examine the taglines of several of your favourite films and analyze their effectiveness (or lack thereof).
