Having completed my research on multiple film posters, I have created a template to help me create the poster ancillary product. During my research, I focused on the stereotypical conventions that are present in most film posters as this is what I would use to base the template I was designing on.
In my design, I have remained fairly conventional by having a main image that covers the majority of the poster; this will draw the audiences attention to the poster as it will be bold enough to gain someone's attention. I have also decided to feature the star system at the top of the poster, as this is something that is very common in both the mood boards I have created as well as the analysis I have completed.
The billing board is located at the very bottom of the poster, again following the conventional feature of film posters, as this contains the information that doesn't interest the audience, and so it needs to be the last thing that they read. I made the decision to include a website address, which isn't a common convention for posters; this will help to widen the demographic and appeal to a younger generation through the use of cross media convergence.
I haven't included the release date on the plan above, but this will be located just under the title; I would like this to be bold and to stand out, so I am going to use a sans serif font in white, as this will contrast with the dark background.
