Film Poster Construction
  1. Whilst constructing my film poster, i had to complete many stages of editing images, positioning the images correctly; making sure they are not overcrowded, exploring different layouts, merging backgrounds and lastly layer images to perfectly represent my genre of police crime.
      1. To begin with i had to crop out all of the backgrounds of my images i had taken, this is because the background i originally took my pictures in does not relate to my genre or storyline.
        1. In order to not confuse the audience i have chosen backgrounds that are shot in our trailer, example the alleyways, main road, station and forest locations. Also highlighted in my moodbaord and film promo treatment. This was a great idea to complete as it kept me on track and reminded me of our storyline continuously including our settings we initially thought about.
          1. Youtube was a great help as it taught meow to improve my editing skills on photoshop. For instance this screenshot of the video i watched was teaching me how to crop the background without cropping out the fine hairs making it look more realistic. This was because my female modelled very fine blonde hair that often got in the way while cropping with the magic wand. the tool i often go for. Furthermore it taught me to use the magnetic lasso tool as this tool isomer intricate then any other cropping tool.
            1. This is another example of me cropping the background of these multiple images, ready to insert my background.
              1. I also experimented with the image using different kind of filters, in addition to brightening the image and changing the contrast levels.
                    1. This image is a representation of the experimentation edits was completing in order to make my main image for my film poster standout. However i did not use this form final outcome as it did not suit my genre and or storyline.
                    1. This image represents all the main images i aspire to use in my film poster.
                1. I also had to edit the models faces, using the spot healing tool, the blur tool, and the eraser. Completing this on Photoshop was very helpful as not only did i have experience using the tools but also understood the differences it can make to my film poster. making it look more professional.
                    1. This is an example of were i beautified one of my models in order to make her look more presentable and professional. Here i used the pen path tool and the paint brush tool on a new layer every time, giving my model nicely filled eyebrows. In addition i also made sure it look realistic, including erasing excess hair using the eraser tool.
                  1. I also experimented with different backgrounds , this is because whilst conducting my research i have analysed that all film posters should include some sort of background. As this will represent the storyline more showing where the trailer/ movie is set perhaps, making it easier for the audience to understand.
                      1. This was the final background i went with adding my own edits make it look more gloomy and feel surreal.
                        1. Looking at lighting and contrast backgrounds.
                            1. Also viewing coloured backgrounds with high levels of colour. this could make my film poster more bold, and attractive.
                              1. I was also looking for backgrounds that had included someone standing in the middle, taking these shots where too hard to take as the lighting would blend in with the background.
                                1. This kind of shot will give that mysterious feeling to my film poster, rerepsenting the girl that got raped in the forest, in addition the back of the person could also represent the rapist waiting for his victim.
                                  1. To make sure i have the correct background i applied it to each image, making it look presentable. to do this i lowered the opacity of some images.
                                2. I also added some prints to my poster, representing the idea that when the rape victim was pushed to the floor, forcefully held against the floor, the dirt prints on her clothes and skin will leave a mark. These prints that i have added her was done using the eraser tool, clicking the different formats including the smudger, the crayon, textured, etc.
