Landscape Film Posters

My film poster is going to be landscape which is unusual and you wouldn't think that a film poster would be landscape. However, after researching up on this and seeing if film posters can be in landscape, I found a lot of popular films and well-known block busters that used landscape film posters. Therefore this means I am safe to make my film poster landscape.
Example of a popular film that has a landscape film poster.

Film Poster Effect

I added a record symbol to my film poster and was pleased with the outcome of what this did to the poster. This is because it was a unique idea and related well with my film and the horror theme/genre. It relates well with this because most horror films are recorded on a hand held camera and are usually first person films. Therefore my film may also be a first person film but even if I decide not to it still has a good effect on the film poster.

Approved For All Audiences

I am making sure that I will place this approved for all audiences image at the start of the trailer to make it look more professional. This is because all professional film trailers have this in their trailers and also my film production logo.

Coming Soon Banner

I have created this banner to add into my trailer which spell from left to right 'Coming Soon'. I am adding this after my trailer because this is what you see in teaser trailers. Also because it's a teaser trailer you don't release an exact date as to when the film is coming out to leave the audience in suspense. I also could of just put the text so it appears on the screen however I thought this would be a bit boring that's why I have made it into an animation so it spells out the word, making it a bit more interesting.

The Software I'm Using


The software I am using to edit my film trailer is Serif Movie Plus. This software allows me to be able to put all of my trailer together how I want to and add effects, text and music etc. This is a good software for me to use because it will create my trailer in a professional way.
