PLANNING: IN DESIGN

Last week, we were taught about the InDesign software - used to create film posters. Since we only had a single lesson we weren't able to cover everything - only the basics. I  learnt things such as; how to type in words around a letter and how to fill text with a picture.
During the lesson, I used the draft photos, that my group and I took earlier in the week, to create a rough poster. This allowed me to put my new knowledge about the software into good use.

Below are some picture I took whilst I made the poster.

PLANNING: FILM POSTER

Today I started to plan my film poster. I have saved some images of the Facebook, instagram and twitter logos which I will add to my poster when I make it. I have also started to write the credits that will be included at the bottom of the poster. My group and I felt that we should have the same names for the producers, directors etc. So we made the credits together. Before doing this however, I researched what sort of things should be included in the credits for a film poster. I looked at a few different film posters - but mostly focused on the "Inception" poster. Below is a screenshot of the credits from the inception poster.
I made sure to include things such as, the name of the:
- director
- producer
- executive producer
- writer
- editor
- production company
- actors
- customer designer

Before I wrote out the credits on my word document, however, I researched what the font is for film posters when writing out the credits - as I want my font to be as similar as possible. I found out that the font used is called "Bee Two". I then downloaded a font that was very similar ( as I couldn't find a free version for "Bee Two") and then changed the font to this style of writing on my word document. When I make my poster I will make sure that I use this font.
