Movie Poster Draft Layouts

There are a few reasons why I will not use any sections of this draft in my final poster besides having the billing block at the bottom. I will not have the main image above of the movie title towards the top of the page because through photoshop editing I plan to place the movie title into the main image of the poster instead of a different location. I will also not use the structural idea of having the movie tagline and release period together underneath the title because I believe that there is too much text in one section of the poster and that it may become difficult to view compared to having some text at the top of the page and segregated by the image.

The only sections of this poster draft that I will use in my final product are the placing of the main image in the middle between two sections of text and the billing block at the bottom. I will place the main image of the poster in the middle of the page because I believe that it is the most important part of the poster, along with the title of the movie which will part of the image. Another change that I will make on my final poster in switching the positions of the movie tagline and the release date, because I think the information on release should be placed around the billing block as extra information after the main aspects of the movie have been viewed. I will use all sections of this draft when I create my final poster product. I will merge the title of the movie into the main image by placing it onto a section of the image. As is conventional for movie posters, the image will be placed into the middle of the page because of its importance in portraying the genre and other aspects of the movie and also because of the movie title being involved in the image. I will use another typical convention of movie posters in the positioning of the billing block being at the bottom of the poster because it is the least important aspect in portraying the features of the movie. I will also place the release period above the billing block as this is also less important on the poster. Yet another convention of movie posters that I will use in my product is the positioning of the movie tagline at the top of the poster. The reason why I will use this common convention is because the tagline will reflect the expressions of the poster and the ideologies of the movie so is also of large importance.
