Feedback On My Poster

'I think the way you have presented the poster is really professionally done, as it has all the positions and names at the bottom along with sponsors and an official website. The picture is really nicely edited so it stands out from the black background but without being to "in-your-face". My only criticism of the poster is the font and possibly the colour of your font, I think the font is a bit to plain and could have been perhaps a bit more scary to give off the connotations of a horror/thriller film, and I think the colour you used stands out a bit too much, but overall I think it looks really nice and professional'

Making My Film Poster

The other part of my coursework is a magazine cover and a film poster. In order to get the right photographs for my cover and my poster I used a Canon EOS 1000D. I took photographs of my friends who acted in my trailer, I put fake blood and mud on their faces so that the photographs and the trailer link together. I took various photographs of them in different locations, the two main locations I used was an alley way and the car park in which the trailer was filmed.

 

I took quite a few photographs for my front cover and poster; this gave me a lot of photographs to choose from. This is the photograph I chose to use, I chose this one because I like the way they are positioned and they have the right expressions on their faces.

This is the photograph after I edited in Photoshop. I changed the contrast, made the photograph brighter and I de-saturated the colour so that it has an eerie kind of effect.

This is the final edit of the photograph and the first stage of my poster coming together. I have blacked out the background, I have made the boys on the right and the left appear to be standing far away from ‘the man in the mask’ I did this by increasing their size and moving them closer to each other. I have also added space above and below the photograph, this space is for the title and for the credits at the bottom.

This is the second part of my film poster; I have added the title of the film. It is in big letters so that it stands out of the page, I have chosen to use the colour red as red symbolises blood and red works well against the black background. The black space at the end will be filled with the credits.

This is my final poster. I have put the credits at the bottom of the page; to do this is I copied credits from a real film poster. In Photoshop I changed all of the names and I changed the date of release but I kept the logos the same. Next to editor and director I put my name and Marias name as I edited the trailer and Maria directed it. I have also added the actors’ names beneath the title, I used the same font and the same colour and the title.
