Design Your Movie Poster


This is an exercise that should help you remind yourself of your story spine: design your movie poster. This isn't an art project so it really doesn't matter what your poster looks like. We are interested here in your concept and thinking process, in the sketch, not in the finished product.

What's on a movie poster? The title. An image that reflects the essence of the story. A phrase or sentence that hypes the essence of the story. A movie star (cast your own movie!) or two.

Have fun with this -- but also take it very seriously. Before you rewrite, use this exercise to remind yourself of your story spine, what your story is essentially about.
