Making film poster

For the image i was going to go out and take pictures of the characters but i thought i would be better if we keept the story line and characters a mistrey to the audeince so i took a picture from my photography AS and edited it so it was black and white which i thought was a good idea for the theme of the film. then i used the dodge tool to blur out and lighten parts of the photo where the writing would be so it looks readble.
As the trailer has a miseriouse pram in it i thought that it would be good if i took a photo of the pram and made it smaller and blend in with the background. This will give the poster a diffrent element for the audience to think about which will entise them to watch the film.

Again in the trailer there is a protaganist. We dont see the killers face but only his actions so i didnt want to put a picture of the killers face on show or what he looks like so i decided to make a silotette of a man on paint and trasfer it onto photoshop. With this image it could look like two things : The attacker or the victim so again there is another elemnt to the poster thats gives the audience a chance to think about the film and who is the person running.

All film posters have small writting at the bottom of every poster. This is all for legal reasons so there is alot of logos and company names at the bottom including some other names. By doing the font so small it still keep within there legal rights but also doesnt destract the eye from the main picture. The caption at the top gives the audience an idea of the genre of the film so i thought that this would be a good way of shwoing this as the word death is linked to most horror films. With the way the font goes and how it was readble i place the caption over the area i dogde tolled earlyer so it was readble and got the font lettering from a website @dafont.com@ where i copy and pasted.


With the title i wanted to to be the same font as the caption to make it look sort of tidy and matching. I placed it inot the doged tool part i done earlyer and fitted it. I feel that the only thing that needs have on there is a caption but that might ruin the whole effect of the poster.

FEED BACK:

We asked people what they thought about pur film poster and they said something was missing like actors name or something more baout the film so i added the actors names which made it look alot better.
