The easiest way to do this step is to take a movie poster for a blockbuster film, copy it exactly and then ONCE YOU’VE COPIED IT EXACTLY, change the text. You will see this above any good movie poster title: A STEVEN SPIELBERG FILM (or any other director). In some cases, it’s the name of the actor.
