27. Final Film Poster I have changed the billing block font so now it looks far more professional. I have changed the picture on the poster to be more dark to suit the style of the piece. The picture was sourced from the internet and the website http://abduzeedo.com/daily-inspiration-386 I have now inserted the production company logo in the bottom right corner of the poster to adhere to convention as not including the company logo is very unprofessional and completely rejects conventions.
