Print Product Research

Here are some examples of existing Billboard Posters that I might take influence from:

Locations and Filming Planning

More Intertitles Testing

Here I have tested similar things for the intertitles, using the green screen effect on iMovie and overlaying it over the time-lapse. I have also used some long shot and put some fake reviews by critics over them, then to make the text stand out I have added the 'Day to Night' filter on some of the shot, and editing the colours of them.
