Film Poster - Dani

When creating the film poster I used photoshop so it was possible to achieve certain effects on the images and text.


I used a still image from the film location to create a sense of continuity between the film and the poster and did the same with the costume of the character image. Instead of just plonking the image on top of the location, I thought it better to somehow merge them together so I went through the effects until I achieved the right one.

The use of the black and white in both images made it possible to create effect with the use of colour in the titling on the poster. I went through quite a few colours when deciding which to use and in the end decided that a shade of green would work best as it compliments the countryside location where the majority of the filming took place.



The contrast on the main character image, allows it to stand out from the background location image which was the effect I wanted to achieve. I also slightly stretched the image in an attempt to replicate the famous 'scream' painting, however it didn't work as well in the poster, so the stretch is only slight.


All I had left to do was add the final touches of the poster, the billing block and the review stars. I chose to use 'Little White Lies' and 'Empire' as the reviewers, as this was the most realistic choice when it came down to who would watch our short film. After playing around with the opacity of images and text in relation to each other, I have come to my final product.
