PLANNING: INDESIGN MOVIE POSTER

On Friday of last week, I was taught how to use a programme called InDesign for when we finalise our ideas and prepare to make our own individual posters. Below shows my experimentation of using the various tools in Indesign to familiarise myself with the software. My group and I are going to make individual posters in InDesign. Having read the last two Examiner's Reports to centres, I am pleased to be using their recommended choice of software in InDesign which is industry standard. 

From what I learned with movie posters in general, they all contain the title of the film in large and bold text at the top of the poster, followed by the main characters in the centre frame where most of the attention is displayed. The information of the cast and crew is at the bottom.  

I also worked on a word document and I looked at the movie poster of "The Twilight saga" and I looked at the various information it gives. It gives the information of:

the casting
the costume designer
the music
the music supervisor
the visual effects
the executive producer
the producer
the director
the editor
the production designer
the director of photography
the co-producer

My group and I decided to use the same people's names for the cast and crew.

The poster will also require at the bottom the social networks used to promote the film. I created a folder with the social networks logo on one of the apple computers in the media room so when I come to make my poster, I can drag the logos for the social networks onto my indesign poster. I am currently working on a website for the film, which is going to be called www.aquestionofidentity.com and this will be placed at the bottom of the poster.
