Information at the bottom of or film poster

Billing Block





Above are some examples of what previous billing blocks look like in films such as Avengers, Batman and Avatar, they always hold vital information in very short bursts such as 

______________ Pictures Presents
A           Production
A Film By               
'Film Title Here'
Followed by six or seven of the actors' name in importance of their roles
Produced by                 
Written by                    
Directed by           (Again the director's name, the same as "A Film By....." line

  • Certain films have also gone the extra mile by incorporating things such as the date or where it will be shown into this design, as you can see in the bottom example, they have placed the date within the title to make the billing block not appear bland or thin, this is an ideal way of presenting a mass of information at once.
  • In order for our film poster to replicate this we would need to allocate what production company we would be working under, and names we would use as actors within our film, so therefore it would appear like this.
Revolver Entertainment Presents
A MESS MEDIA Production, A Film by SEYI DARAMOLA, 'L.D.N.' SEYI DARAMOLA ELLA PIPER MOLLIE COWIN JAMES NOTCUTT ERNEST BABALOWO KIYAL PATEL JOHN SMITH JOE BLOGGS Produced by MESS MEDIA Written by JOE TIMOTHY Directed by SEYI DARAMOLA

Finally, the font is vital as it needs to be small and concise in order to present all the information in a small space, this needs to be sourced from Dafont.com as that will be the best place to source the font.
