early shots of film poster

This is an early shot of my film poster. I have chosen to go with a plain black background as i believe black backgrounds work best for horror posters. I will place an image in the centre of the screen when i have taken the image. I searched the website, dafont.com, to find a suitable font for my main title on my poster and have found one which i think works well with the trailer and its genre. The title is located in the bottom third of the page, this is so the main focus of the poster will be on the centered image when i have completed the poster.
I have studied a few horror movie posters and have added a few lines to my poster to make it look a bit more professional and to add effect. A lot of horror posters have got a link somewhere on them for the films website, so i have added a link at the bottom of the page as i think its the best place for the link. I have also added a sell line to the top of the poster as this adds effect to the poster and makes it look more professional.
I have now added the movies 'release date' to the lower third of the poster in a size text that stands out well but doesn't dominate the poster, this is another thing i have added to make it look more professional and to make it more appealing to the audience. I have started to add names in small text underneath the poster, this is to help promote the production company and the actors. At the moment there is four names for the actors and some of the production companies.
I have now completed adding production names and adding names for recognition to my poster, this is now complete. It has names from people who 'helped create the film' such as graphic designers, executive producers and sound production. This adds an extra professional dimension to the overall poster. I will now add the image to the poster and it will be then complete.
