Creating our billing block

From gathering research on products such as film posters and film trailers, I have found out that one of the main codes and conventions that is used is a billing block. A billing block ensures the continuity between products and basically gives the main people who have been apart of the film credit/recognition.

I have researched billing blocks on a number of different posters and found out that they contain the same information. The image below is the billing block from the poster for The Strangers. This is of the same genre and story-line to our film and so it would therefore be relevant to use the same information as this.

This information includes the production companies involved, as well as producers, writers and directors. Because there were only four people in our group who were involved with the creation of the film, our four names are the only ones that appear - Myself, John, Shaun and Georgia. We also found that the font used for a billing block is very tall and thin and have so incorporated this into our own. The billing block that we have created will appear at the bottom of my movie poster as well as at the end of our trailer.
