3. We took the images that we were thought would be most
effective.
4. We then uploaded them onto the mac and firstly placed a
black and white filter. Then we adjusted the contrast and darkened
the image until the black screen behind the character blended in
with the black background of the poster. This allowed us to control
the brightness of the image and remove anything that would effect
the quality of the image, such as glare or shadows.
5. We then took the images and applied them to a black
back
6. Above the image we placed the names of the leading actors in
either corner The name of the creators positioned in a smaller
sized, central, above the title The Title was positioned in the
upper centre in the largest font in order to pull focus towards
it
7. Other information, such as the filmmakers, directors,
producers, production and distribution companies were positioned at
the bottom, layered over the image. The production and distribution
company logos were positioned in both corners at the bottom.
8. After looking back at other posters we realised that they
included the release date of the film, alongside social media links
so that the audience may gain more information about the film
itself. We then printed the posters in order to gain a true
perspective of what the poster may look like if it was produced.
From this we found that the text at the bottom of the image was too
large, alongside the logos. Therefore, we reduced their size in
order to create a balance on the poster.
9. We also enlarged the images to avoid a too large of a gap
between the image and the main title.
10. The Final Designs We understand that the majority of films
use more than one poster design in order to advertise the product.
Therefore, we decided to create two, displaying the main
characters.
