The preferred image for this world is a screen grab of the title screen from the movie or trailer.

The vast majority of films (new and old) have trailers you can watch on Youtube and screengrabs can be taken from there.

Here are some examples of how to take screen grabs..

PC

Mac

You can also check youtube for tutorials on how to take screengrabs.

You can also simply pause a DVD and take a photo of the screen.

Example: melvin-goes-to-dinner374726-ci-t.jpg


Screen grabs are considered fair usage and will used as the main image if available.

It's also really useful to add images of the cast or key scenes from the movie.

For example see Skin Trade

It probably shouldn't need saying but please don't add screengrabs from nude scenes. There are numerous websites that do that already and we don't want them on 45worlds.

Looks like I'll be busy digging out my DVD's for the extra screengrabs. Being officially retired now I've plenty time on my hands :thumbsup:

Sorry i'm a newby here, but why use a Title card if images of Movie Posters are available online as well. Especially with foreign language movies a title card on screen is a translation. Also screenshots (at least on mac) are not a Jpeg, so if i do a screenshot i need to convert it somehow.

I keep getting an error when adding a screenshot, even if i change it to jpeg.

"IMAGE ERROR

✘ The image was not added: file is an image, but not a jpeg"

All my images are .jpg (or .Jpg :-) but I don't recall submitting as a .jpeg
These file extensions should all be compatible so I'm surprised you have had problems

I’ve tried screenshots as PNG and JPG, but neither worked. I’ll try again tomorrow.

I don't have a problem adding screenshots. It's just, they should be from the actual film. As trailer Titles are sometimes Different. H.
