Making the film poster and final product

Below is a youtube video showing how I made the poster for the film 'The Unknown'. I took a film using quicktime screen record and used photoshop to edit the actual poster:

WHAT HAVE I LEARNED?

PROS:
- I learned more about how to use photoshop so that next time I can use shortcuts for things to be more accessible.
- I learned how to use Dafont and the two fonts that I liked in particular were 'Nuev' and 'Universal accreditation'. They allowed me to work quickly and effectively, although, they became very pixelated as they weren't fantastic quality.
- I learned a lot about how film posters work, i.e. the dimensions, where the titles go, the film poster symbols.

CONS:
-The final result came out extremely pixelated which was an issue because if we wanted to blow this up into the size of a poster, it wouldn't look like very good quality. However, that being said, we are only as good as the equipment we have and hence, as we were using a beginner SLR camera, the final project was always going to be pixelated.
- I felt as though the poster wasn't 'catchy' nor 'poppy' enough. Perhaps some colour or different fonts would change this.
- I didn't leave enough room for social media symbols and release dates.
