Showing how I went about creating my film poster

1. How I made my Film Poster
By Katie Hall

2. Here is the process of me making my
film poster. I used the programme
GIMP 2.0 to create my poster.
I started with my original image:

3. I then took it and added some fog for the
dark background. I generated my own fog
using one of the tools. I then used the
eraser tool to erase it where I didn’t want it

4. I then changed the colours to make
the grass less vibrant.

5. Next I added the
writing on the
gravestone. To do
this I used the
displacement tool
but then deleted
the original next
afterwards just
leaving the
engraved outline.

6. Next I added a drop shadow to add the
3D engraved effect to the text

7. Next was the hand. I removed the
background from the original image
using the lasso tool to cut around the
hand.

8. I added a cartoon effect
to give a harsher edge to
the hand. I added some
red over the top for blood
using the paint tool and
used the eraser to put it
behind the grass

9. Next I added the title. I removed the
background colour using the colour to
alpha tool. I then added a drop
shadow to make it stand out more.

10. Above the title I added the cast names.
I used the text tool to type the names
and again used a drop shadow to help
them stand out, but this time in red.

11. Next I added the moonlight using the
“supernova” tool to create light.

12. Next I added a date. I used text from the
internet so I had to save it as an image and
import it. Again I used the colour to alpha
tool to remove the background and added
a drop shadow.

13. Next I added the credits. I had to erase
some in the middle to make room for
the date but I still got enough on
there.

14. Lastly I added my logos underneath
the credits. The Dolby logo and rating
logo were taken from the internet. My
own logos were also added at each
end.
