How to Create Project 3

Part 1

a) Write out your Movie idea! First pick a movie genre. (Horror, Sci-Fi, Romantic comedy) Then write down 'who' the antagonist and protagonist are, 'where' the movie takes place, 'when' the movie takes place, and finally the 'what' and 'why' of the story.

.
b) Look up and download 10 examples of posters that inspire you from the movie genre you choose

.

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

.

Part 2

a) Create a template for your poster 11x17” at 180dpi

b) Put in guides for the unprintable boarder and for the middle

c) Create 3 different prototypes of your movie poster

.

Part 3
- Create 1 final version of the best movie poster based on the comments derived from the critique

Key things to Remember:

* Always start with the poster template

* Duplicate important layers

* Save often

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

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
