Creating your Film Poster
Once you have decided on your idea for your film you now need to begin drafting ideas for a film poster within the action/adventure genre.
TASK: Create a mood-board of images that you may want to use for a film poster.
- Backgrounds
- Actors (you may use images of yourself but these must be taken out of lesson)
- Objects, props etc.
- Colours
- Settings
NEXT STEPS: Once you have your mood-board, open Photoshop and follow the instructions below.
Click New and make sure you have the following settings selected.
International Paper
A4
Colour
Resolution 300
Click Ok > You will then see your film poster.
To place an image you can either copy and paste or insert and drag and drop it into your document.
All the tools you will need are on the left of your screen; I can help with more complicated decisions.
Ensure it looks professional as this is an assessed piece of work.
