Room 5 · Poster

Make a movie poster with your kid

Watch this 52-second film with your kid before they open the Poster room. Tek shows what makes people want to watch a movie.

What your kid learns

  • A poster has one job: make people want to watch.
  • A short title, one big picture, and colors that match the feeling.
  • Your kid signs it, because they made it.

The steps

  1. 1

    Your kid picks a short title that's easy to remember.

  2. 2

    They put the star in the middle, big and bold.

  3. 3

    They match the colors to the feeling: dark for spooky, bright for funny.

  4. 4

    They sign it with their name.

Transcript

  1. Before anyone watches a movie, they see the poster.

  2. A great poster makes people want to watch. It shows the star, the feeling, and the name.

  3. Step one. Pick a great title. Short and easy to remember, like The Littlest Ghost.

  4. Step two. One big picture. Put your star in the middle, big and bold.

  5. Step three. Show the feeling. A spooky movie? Make it dark. A funny movie? Make it bright.

  6. Step four. Sign it. Your name goes on the poster. A film by you!

  7. Not sure? Make another, and pick your favorite. Then, it's premiere time!
