What you will get

A vertical 2:3 poster with you as the lead: dramatic lighting, a colour grade to match the genre, your chosen title and tagline in large lettering and a small credit block at the bottom, like a real release.

Common mistake

The title or tagline is misspelt, or credit names are gibberish.

Fix: Use a title of one to three words and a tagline under eight. Check each letter, and if any is wrong, regenerate or add the text in an editor.

Also watch for

The credit block shows real actor, director or studio names. Add “use only made-up names and no real studio logos in the credits”. Otherwise your poster can seem to credit real people.
Your face looks pasted on or has changed. Upload a clear front-facing photo with light similar to the genre, such as strong side light for a thriller, and say “do not alter the face”.

Try a variation: hand-painted look

Add “in the style of a hand-painted 1980s cinema poster, with bold brush strokes and a slightly exaggerated pose”. It gives a retro theatre look instead of a photo-real one.

Still not right? Reply with this

Keep my face unchanged, correct the spelling of the title, shorten the tagline to six words and use only made-up names in the credits.
