Film Poster evolution

I started my film poster with a vague idea of what i would do, that has now evolved into something better than i set out to do but there in still more i can do.



This is the basic picture that had been darkend and faded in wards



All ive done here is added a title.



To make the title fit into the poster i added smoke from the candle leading into the title. The text at the bottom are the tag lines of the film.




Here i made the colour of the title more bold because it wasnt clear it was the title, and brightend the origional picture due to when printed or displayed on a poor computer screen it apeard to dark. The main picture was moved up, more into the centre of the poster, and added the text coming soon.




The title colour i changed because it didnt fit well with the poster, i moved the main image again and the main tag line more central. Aswell as un-underlining the coming soon i added the film information at the bottom of the poster, and lightend the main image.

Film poster research

I found this website i found while looking for film poster conventions, im planning to use this to help create my film poster. Though this was written to help analyse a film poster, i will use it to analyse my poster as i create it.

Two Shots done at home

I decided due to lack of locations to film two extra shots at home. One using a mirror and the other using stairs.

The mirror i chose fit perfectly into the the style of our film but presented the difficulty of filming the shot without filming the cameras reflection. I had difficulty with the lighting but after a while i managed to position some torches to provide the correct lighting. My origional shot showed the cabinet empty but that meant there was no reson to open the cabinet, so after a few takes i place a severd arm prop coverd in blood, it worked well, the only propblem then was getting my "actor" to do what i say.

The stairs shot was simple enough,it turned out well, so i took varing shots at differing speeds and angles.
