5. We took the images that we were thought would be most effective.
6. 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.
7. We then took the images and applied them to a black back
8. 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
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. We also enlarged the images to
avoid a too large of a gap
between the image and the main
title.
12. 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.
