Film Poster

I made my own film poster using Photoshop. I started by finding a relevant background colour. I went with the colour black as our film is quite a dark film and includes death. I liked the effect of the smudges in the black colour as it gives it a scarier atmosphere rather than just having a solid black colour. I then took the photo of the main characters that is used in the film and took parts away from the image to make it look a bit rougher. I thought this would make the image blend in to the background more and create a better effect. I then though the text should be a bright clear colour as on top of the black background it would stand out more. I chose for the title text to be in capitals to make it more clear and eye catching, this would make it one of the first things would look at. I chose to have the slogan and other text at the top of the image as in then frames the main image. Also, I made sure the release date for the film is clear and central so that the audience would know when they were able to go and see it.
