What makes a movie poster look real?
A film poster sells a movie with one image: a lead actor framed by dramatic light, a setting that signals the genre, and a big title treatment at the bottom. Action posters lean on fire and orange-and-teal color, horror posters on darkness and fog, and romance posters on warm light. The AI Movie Poster Generator uses those genre conventions so a selfie reads as key art.

Which movie poster genre should I choose?
Action puts you striding away from a burning city street in orange-and-teal light, with a bold metallic title. Horror stands you in the doorway of an abandoned house at night with a flashlight and fog, under a thin, unsettling title. Romance has you on a rainy golden-hour street with an umbrella and an elegant serif title.
