Poster Finalisation

I have made some more alterations to my poster design and am nearly finished with my final poster for my ancillary task.

I have reduced the contrast slightly, to make the image slightly less harsh, alongside making the title and release date more vibrant. These two things now stand out better against the image background, which is important: the title and release date are (arguably) the most important things on a film poster. I have also changed the BBFC certificate to more accurately reflect the final content of our film short.

I have added credits in a small font to my poster, reflective of most theatrical posters. I initially wrote the credits in the same serif font I used for the rest of the text in my poster, but to make it look more authentic I changed it to a san-serif font, Agency FB. I am in two minds as to whether the credits should be at the bottom of the poster (fig. 1), which is more standard of film posters, or whether they should be underneath the title (fig. 2). I personally like the way they look in figure 2, as it looks a little more old-school similar to the way I put "in The Correspondent". I have decided to do a bit of audience research and ask around to determine which I will keep as my final poster.
