antagonist and protagonist are, 'where' the movie takes place, 'when'
the movie takes place, finally the 'what' and 'why' of the story.
b) Look up and download 10 examples of posters that inspire you
c) Compile a list of
important information that needs to be on the poster including: movie title,
main actors/actresses, film company, producers, date, credits, ext…
(use the 10 examples you downloaded as a guide)
d) Collect a variety of imagery to work with for your poster
* Make sure
to find the largest images possible

your poster 11x17” at 180dpi

things to consider:
First you want to figure out a genre for your movie. Is it a Romantic comedy,
Sci-fi, Fantasy, Horror, Comedy, Drama, Action, ect… Then look at and
collect movie posters of that genre. Consider things like colors used, font
type, text placement, use of actors/actresses images, are they full body or
close up, what is their gesture.
Details:
all posters should be set for 11x17 inches at 180 dpi
