Cast and Crew

Before I write my billing, I have done appropriate research on people who have made films with in the thriller genre I have decided to create a fictional cast creating a fake biography for each of them. the reason I didn't use real actors is because I need to use original images and footage in my poster, magazine and teaser trailer and in reality images of stars would run across in my marketing campaign.

Billing Analyses - Prisoners

One of the convention I noticed on the posters when I was analysing poster conventions was that they include the billing/credits usually on the bottom of the poster. Before I right my own billing I will analyse the billing from an exiting thriller film called 'prisoner' to see the order the names/cast/ crew appear in, so I can replicate this on my poster. 










  • Production/distribution companies 
  • Main stars 
  • Other stars 
  • Music By
  • Music Supervisor 
  • Costume designer 
  • Edited By
  • Production designer 
  • Director of Photography 
  • Co-produced 
  • Executive producer
  • Produced By
  • Written By 
  • Directed By
