movie posters

Crafting an identity for your screenplay’s visual representation is a daunting task. Amidst the multitude of frames in your story, one single frame stands out—the poster. I thrive on this challenge because I understand its pivotal role. As an accomplished screenwriter, I recognize the intricate art of creating a movie poster that not only captivates but serves as a powerful marketing tool.

Let’s break down the crucial elements:

  1. Headlines or Taglines: Your film needs a compelling headline or tagline to stand out. Crafting a smart, catchy, or intriguing line that positions the film and complements the main image is paramount. I bring my award-winning advertising and screenwriting expertise to ensure your film is marketed effectively.

  2. Visual Key Art: Generating original art to visually represent your film, especially in pre-sales campaigns, requires a special skill set. As an experienced illustrator, I create authentic, handcrafted key art that resonates with your story, even without existing footage or references.

  3. Main Title Design: Your film’s title design carries immense weight in a thumbnail-sized space. It’s not just about typesetting a font—it’s about storytelling. I strive to infuse depth and narrative even into the title design to enhance its impact.

  4. Naming: A powerful title is the cornerstone of an effective campaign. I’ve seen weak titles hinder success. I’m here to guide and refine, ensuring your film’s title is a forceful marketing tool.

  5. Credit Block: The billing block adds credibility to your poster. Even without a complete cast, including key production details builds authenticity. I meticulously construct a comprehensive credit block that portrays professionalism.

Remember, a movie poster’s ultimate job is to sell and promote your film. It might not mirror every detail of your screenplay or finished film, but that’s the nature of effective advertising. Relax and embrace the creative process—it’s transformative and could redefine the trajectory of your project.
