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.
