It's time to stretch your creativity to the max! To succeed in this contest, you'll need to tap into a variety of skills: graphic design, screenwriting, imagination and creativity.

Tap into your writing skills first and write a plot for a new movie. A story that has never been told before and will keep people hooked to the screen from start to finish. Next, come up with a creative title. A catchy title that perfectly summarizes your plot and arouses curiosity. And lastly, design a movie poster for your masterpiece!

This movie poster will be displayed at all movie theatres in the world and you want to attract as many viewers as possible, so make it eye-catching! You also want the movie critics to praise your plot for authenticity and creativity. The genre of the movie is up to you. Anything from slapstick to horror!

So when voting, evaluate both the quality of the poster and the plot underneath it. Both need to align with each other. The potential of the entire package is what should determine the winner of this contest.

Let's start brainstorming and come up with that million-dollar movie idea! This contest was suggested by Velya.

Good luck!

PS: It's very important to vote on every entry, the more votes we get, the more accurate the rankings will be. Also, when you see something on someone's entry that can be improved, let them know. That way, we can learn new skills from each other!

PS 2: Ideas for future contests can be submitted here. The best ideas will be picked and turned into a contest. Make sure to clearly define the rules and objectives of the contest.

Sorry Skyangel, I tried and tried but couldn't manage to edit my entry with imgur... So I have created a new entry. But I have registered your comment before deleting and here it is:
"I think this movie would come under the mystery genre since it remains a mystery as to who or what "the apple of his eye" might have been and why any artist might have created a statue of a skeleton and placed a real apple in its hand. The text has everything needed on a poster and is easily readable. The only thing that looks wrong is that ear. It looks out of place because it is a fleshly ear on a skeleton and besides that, it is in the wrong place. It appears to be on the back of the head instead of on the side where it is supposed to be. See the circular gap near the top of the jaw bone? That is the "external acoustic meatus" and that is where the ear should be if you want to add the fleshly ear at all. https://i.pinimg.com/564x/6b/10/7c/6b107c973b3b258b210f52e58894dbee.jpg
Personally I would leave the fleshly ear out and just cover the area with hair so the skull looks like it's wearing a wig but you are the artist and you might have good reasons for putting that ear where you did?"

So, Skyangel, thank you for your comment. I really felt something was wrong but couldn't find where it was, and you got it spot on. I have now placed the ear in its rightful external acoustic meatus, as I couldn't see any reason for it to be anywhere else. I also took off the fleshy part of the nose which bothered me a bit. As a reminder, here is the previous entry:

all right, here's a silly question, why accentuate the ear when it's titled the apple of his eye?

Zizounai replied to retired :

Don't feel silly Retired please, just be silly πŸ₯΄ I didn't wish to accentuate the ear but only to leave it there, as it gives a kind of balance to the composition. I feel attracted to this ear, please don't try to find in it a relation with the title though. It would be rather unnecessary in understanding the poster or even the story the movie would tell, for they result in heavy bypassed semiotics and become something more than symbols that passively awaits deciphering 😁

But some people are taking this poster contest very seriously, with actual stories and credits etc. etc.
