I'm not so sure what sort of things to put on my film dvd covers and posters.


Like.. "X presents an XXX film starring X" .. all that stuff.


People in my crew: "Plasticthunder Films"
Me (Greg Porter) - I write, direct, edit, produce and do cinematography as well as music/soundtrack.
Steve Jess - Acting (mostly the "star") and Music
Ally Deering - Cinematography and we're associated with his prod. comp. "Axis Studios" (he may do music)
Matthew Porter - Grip, Gaffer, Boomguy - Generally the one that helps on set.. no major roles.


How would I compose names and credits onto DVD covers and Posters?
 
I know the layout and fonts and such but I need to know how I would do it for such a small, re-used crew (I play about 10 different parts in total to the credits).
 
to minimize the repetition of your name so it doesn't look odd, i suggest grouping roles, such as "Cinematography and music by Greg Porter" "written and directed by Greg Porter" etc. but, yes, you could do it like "Plasticthunder Films presents a Greg Porter Film "XXX" Steve Jess (any other stars?) cinematography by... etc. or you can always have fun with the roles, like instead of "Director of photography and editor Greg Porter" say "shot and cut by Greg Porter"

the point is, keep them small, condensed and faded back and you'll be good.
