Film Poster Draft Eight

I decided to then change the colour of the background as it gave the poster a more sinister look and added the extra element of ambiguity amongst the killer. Also I decided to change the way that the name of the film was shown. I used the warp tool on Photoshop to make it seem like the name was either coming from the eye or going into it. It was effective in bringing the poster to life but looked unusual in the poster.

Poster Draft Seven

here I wanted to create a different version of my other drafts and decided to change the way that the name of the film was displayed on the poster. therefore I set the letters up in a way that was composed around the contour of the face. I like this effect however I think that it looks like it is not part of the poster and looks odd amongst the other elements of the poster.

Sixth Poster Draft

I decided to change the way the font of the appeared on the poster. I decided to make it look like it has been distorted connoting a sense of anger and fear of and in different characters and how the film will create a sense of foreboding.

Fifth Poster Draft

After looking at the layout of my other posters I decided to change the layout by making the title run into the empty space near the eyes. I decided to warp the title to make it look like it was larger towards the end. This was effective as it made the poster look cynical and like a slasher film. I then moved the tagline towards the bottom of the poster to make it easier to read, however I think that it needed to be a different colour to make it stand out more. 

Fourth Poster Draft

This is a developmental draft from my third poster where I decided to edit the face and only make it look like half of the face could be seen. This created an added sense of ambiguity within the image. 

Third Poster Draft

This is the third draft of my poster. I decided to change it portrait as this conformed to many different conventions of horror posters. The main image is original but I have altered it on Photoshop to give the character a mysterious feel and make him look like a character who is scarred. It is a close-up image where we see the character engaging with the audience. The film name is located under the image. It was in an eroded and slashed horror font in red which conformed to the horror genre. I then wrote the credits underneath using the steel tongs font and also included the release date with production company logos either side. The tagline was also situated on the top of the poster however I think it needs to be clearer and have less of a contrast with the black.

SCREEN GRABS OF THE PROCESS

Firstly, I used the magic wand tool to select parts of the image. after selecting the irrelevant parts I deleted the irrelevant parts and adjusted the contrast to create a heavy contrast and made the image black and white to contrast the white background. However it also included accents of red to show blood and scarring.

I then added the name of the film in a horror font that I had found from dafont.com and changed it to a red colour to show the importance of blood. I then added the tagline and credits underneath to follow basic conventions of a movie poster.

Finally, I added release dates and production company logos to the poster to make it look effective. I then changed the colour of the tagline to make it look more effective. Overall, the poster had simplistic colours to allow the main image to capture the audiences attention.

Second draft of poster

This is a development from my first draft where I decided to use the same photo in the same style but change the colour of the tagline and also change the font of the film name to make it look more like it had been written in blood. also I used the new steel tongs font which I had found and include features such as Dolby digital. Also, I included the production company logos as well as the release date to let the viewers know exactly what they were watching and when it would be released.

Film Poster Credits Experiment

I decided to research different templates for writing credits. I eventually found the steel tongs font which allowed me to input the names following key job roles in the film. This is an experiment of the different and possible credits I could use in my poster.it looked effective and very similar to credits seen on a poster therefore I will use this font template in my poster instead of normal fonts found on word.

Film Poster Draft

This is the first draft of my poster done on Photoshop. I used an original image that I took of the killer with a chain looking deadly. His facial expression is ambiguous which added to the cynical look. also the effect of making the background makes him stand out amongst the basement and also give him the spotlight, indicating his importance in this film. The tagline is situated on the top of the poster with the main film name in big letters and a scratched type font. I have also included the release date and credits. However there needs to be production company logos and the credits need to be in a more appropriate font. also the tagline needs to be in a more visible font colour.

Film Poster Sketch 2

This is a second sketch of my poster. I decided to use a different image and a slightly different layout.The image was a  close up of the killer in a mask which was at the side of  the poster. It is taken as a close up to show the lack of emotion and the facial expressions of the killer. it also engages the audience and makes them want to be a part of the film. The tagline is on top of the film name which then has the credits and release information underneath so the viewers know when it will be in cinemas.

Film Poster Sketch

This is the first sketch of my film poster. I decided to choose an image that looked rather ambiguous to make the horror genre known. I like the use of the posture and the way the actor is positioned because it makes him look dangerous and a character with a sense of foreboding. The film name is enigma and that will run across the top of my poster with the tagline underneath. The credits and other important information will go along the bottom of the poster which is conventional and seen on many of the posters that I have looked at.

Film Poster Flat Plan

I have created a film poster flat plan to convey my ideas of how I want my poster to look. I decided to create an unconventional landscape poster. I wanted the main image to be taken in the location of the film therefore having it landscape but give it a more realistic effect. The film name will run across the bottom of the poster with the production companies and credit information. The names of the actors/actresses in the film will go across the top of the poster.
