Designing Movie Posters.

A film poster is a usually a print-ad used to promote and advertise a film. One of the most effective promotional tools out there- and is a massive opportunity window for creative designers worldwide.

Things to remember while creating a poster:

-Pay close attention to the genre of the films and design your style accordingly

-TypeDesign is the KEY

-Think Minimal. Show what is needed and not a thing more

Tips for getting the perfect Splash Photography

-Make sure that you are shooting against a dark backdrop

-Since you will be shooting at a faster shutter-speed make sure that there is enough light to compensate for it.

-If you want a clear glass without the object used to splash the water up, take two exposures (One before the impact and one after it) and create a composite using Photoshop.

Mise-en-Scene

Mise-en-Scene, is everything that goes in front of the camera in that particular scene. Lighting, Costumes, Backgrounds, Foregrounds, Positioning, Props etc. This is really critical while creating interesting miniature/toy photographs. You can see my associate, Param, carefully staging the scene for the shot. The final image was captured using the OnePlus2 mobile camera.

Its better to use Manual Focus unless you have a fast lens.
