Poster first draft

For this design of the film poster we created a simple mock up using the conventions noted from our analysis of existing products, as well as the viewing of other products. It is conventional to have an image cover the majority of the poster, at this stage into the design we were still deciding which image to use.

The credits at the bottom are not just being used as a to follow conventions, but also because those involved have the right to be credited. Although vital they remain at the bottom of the page as it is not as important for the viewers to see them as other elements.

The names of the main actors should be present on the film poster for a few reasons. Firstly for the same reason as the credits; explained above. Another reason is that for a higher budget production it it possible that they may have well-known actors. By printing the names of main actors a viewer may notice that an actor they admire or despise and make the decision of whether to see the film based upon their opinion of the actor. The poster is likely to go through many more production stages before its completion.
