In order to create an effective film poster the first thing that I needed to do was research film posters. The first thing I did was simply search 'film poster' on a search engine.
Many really successful films appeared and the first thing I did was analyse and compare them. The first thing I noticed is that nearly all of the posters have the main character or characters in the middle of the poster and the title was towards the bottom of the posters. Also the posters tend to use bloc colours such as black, white, blue and red. These colours contrast and will often help make different aspects of the poster stand out.
Next I went on Youtube and searched 'how to make an effective film poster in photoshop'. my idea was not to copy or follow any of these tutorials but to watch them and learn skills that could be used effectively on our film poster. Below is one of the videos I watched.
Finally I searched "how to make an effective movie poster" and found a website that gave me some knowledge on what is good to use in a film poster and what shouldn't be used when designing a film poster. For example I learnt that an effective film poster shouldn't use too many colours and should all ways have a standout title. Link to website
