The document discusses changes made to the credits section of a movie poster. First, the credits were made smaller and moved to the bottom of the poster. The text "Coming Soon" was made to stand out from the credits using a glowing gradient effect inspired by other movie posters. This helps indicate the release date and teases the audience. Screenshots show progress adding effects like bevel and emboss to the text and adjusting the layout to make the credits look more professional. The award text was also resized to fit more information and tailored to a younger audience.
1. CREDITS
Firstly, one of the first changes I made was to
improve the credits by making them slightly
smaller, positioned more towards the bottom,
and make the 'coming soon' stand out
amongst the whole credits and bottom
section of the page.
I used Photoshop to do this by experimenting
with blending options and clicking on
gradient overlay to give the 'Coming Soon' a
glowy, gradient effect to make it look
luminous and stand out like most film posters
tend to do. We were inspired by this idea in
some real media posters we looked at. We
thought this decision would be vital towards
our final poster because it would be the first
thing the audience see when they look at the
bottom of the poster, and will be able to
indicate easier when the film will be released,
and it also teases our audience as we haven't
given them a fixed date which will leave the
audience wondering.
2. These screenshots as well as the following
show my progression as I amended the credits
of the poster in terms of the layout and the
quality. I decided to place the 'Coming Soon' in
between the credits in large so it could stand
out and I added more to it by using bevel &
emboss and then adding glows and gradient
effects to make it look luminous. I thought the
layout of the credits is also important towards
the final poster because it makes it look
professional as a poster.

6. I made the award a little bit smaller so I can
make more space for Lizzie Napper because
at the start she was squeezed in tightly on
the right side of the poster. I also changed
the name of the award to 'Teen Screen
Movie Award' in order to suit my younger
target audience and thought it would suit
the final poster because in the long run, the
audience will see that this film has been
nominated or won an award which was
voted by lots of teenagers meaning they
thought the film was amazing. This will
encourage more young people to watch our
film.
