Ancillary Task Planning - Film poster layout ideas and existing posters

Simple layout design for a film poster that I created. This is a basic layout and very easy to work with. From this step I am going to plan what is going on the poster to visually improve it along with text fonts, colour schemes and other things such as reviews, main actors names, tag line, quotes e.c.t

In all posters the main image is accompanied and surrounded often by other images, colour schemes and text and so I can play around with different images and styles to see what looks good and what doesn't. To help with my planning for the poster I have analysed some existing thriller genre film posters to help see how they convey their genre clearly through the use of genre specific conventions.

Here, I analysed the thriller film poster for Shutter Island.
