The Making of the Poster


Experimenting with the poster.. This was the original image that I was going to use for my poster, however my group memeber sent me the new pictures that we took, therefore I chose to change it to one of the new photographs because I wanted to have a key graphic image which would be similar to the one used on the magazine so that the target audience would automactically know that this is the house style of the film.

I chose to try out a few different edits of the colour of the eyes and the main image itself to experiment and see which one looked the most effective:-

I edited the images on Adobe Photoshop and in this particular one, I chose to change the face to black and white and make the blood on her face red to make it a really strong image. However I felt like I wanted to change the eye colour tomake the image more striking.  

In this version of the poster I changed the eye colour to green however I thought that this did not look scary enough and also looked slightly fake therefore did not give the image a professional look.

This is another image that I edited and I made the characters eyes have a more effective horror look. I made scelra (the white bit of the eye) black and the pupil green. I liked this version however I wanted to experiment around a bit more to see if other colours would look better however I will be keeping the scelra black because I think this adds to the horror feel.

In this version I tried out purple however I do not think it looks very realistic therefore I will not be using this image.

I also experimented with a turqiose colour, however this colour is not a conventional horror colour so I do not think it fits the horror genre very well ad I will not be using this one.

This one was my favourite because it is a subtle blue however I think it looks very effective and conventional to the horror genre. I will be using this image as my poster image because I think that this is the most striking image.

In this image I tried something different by adding a red tint on the image and I think it looks effective however I wanted the red blood on her face to stand out more and I think that this is more apparent on the black and white face.
Therefore I will be using the image with the black and white face with the red blood across it with the black and blue eyes, as this is also a similar image to the one used on my magazine cover therefore I would like the target audience to recgonise these two images and automatically link them together.
