Movie Poster Assignment

In order to help sell movies or show you which films are playing at what theatre, producers will often create movie posters which are meant to garner your attention. Your assignment is to create a movie poster for a film that you are producing.

Procedure

1. You are NOT permitted to create a movie poster for an already made film.
2. You will take 4-5 photos that will include yourself and a variety of other images (scenery, other people, buildings)
3. You will merge them together on one document using Photoshop.
4.  How you choose to arrange the images is entirely up to you. You are welcome to use the various tools we have learned about in this course to enhance your poster.
5. Your poster must be visually engaging so that it will draw the attention of your “audience.”
6.  It will greatly help you to think about your idea before you begin taking pictures so that you know what to look for.
7. Your movie poster must also include a text box that will provide the title and who was responsible for producing it.
8. Discuss in 100 words the edits you made in Photoshop (How you merged the pictures together, what you edited in each image etc.)
9. The final piece of this assignment is to submit a 400 (+/- 50) word description that outlines/sells your plot to the audience.
10. Please upload your assignment as "Movie Poster Assignment."
