2. Here I started off with a blank A4 canvas of which I painted black. I chose black because it is a dark and
dreary colour that displays horror and it also helps emphasise the colours of the text on the pages.
3. I wanted to keep the text the same that feature in my teaser trailer. Therefore I had to google the font
Garamound Rough. This was very simple and easy to find. I applied this to the rest of the text so it would show
continuity. I chose the colour White because it was white on my trailer and stands out from the black
background making it very eye catching.
4. I added text at the bottom saying “FOLLOW THE
TREND #SOVEREIGN”, “SUNRISE PRODUCTIONS”
and “KELLY PRODUCTIONS”. These were easily
added and stand out very well but do not drag
away from the title or the main images when you
can see them.
5. I added a 5 star rating so it would
make my poster seem so much more
professional and I rated it from the
guardian because they are a leading
newspaper that review a lot of top
class and popular films. This was also
easily very done and I got the image of
the stars on Google and edited them
on Photoshop.
6. I added Lucy’s eyes first at the
top due to the fact she is the
leading character. I edited the
colour of her eyes to be red so
it would match in with a horror
theme as red is a colour of
which represents danger. I
blended the image into the
black background using the
blending tool. This took a while
to get use to so I had to
practice a lot with it. I also
changed the opacity of the
image to 38 percent and the fill
to 51 percent.
7. I then added Eimear Rodgers eyes. I only edited hers like
Lucy’s changing the opacity to 38 percent and the fill to
51. I also blended the image into the black background.
8. I done the exact same changes to
Eimear’s eyes that I did to
Aislings’ and this worked very
well. I also did it for Eimear L’s as
well.
9.
10. I added the website so
people can visit it. I made it
very small so it does not
distract from the image and
the title.
11. I then added the release date
because it has to be in every
poster. I added it to the top right
hand corner but made it bigger
than the web address because it
is an important piece of
information that needs to be
displayed but not take away from
the main image and title.
12. I then added the slogan of the
film which also features in my
trailer. I split them between the
three images because I did not
want one big long sentence
because it would look squished
and untidy.
13. The final thing I added to my poster
was the Billing Credits at the bottom
which also feature on every poster. I
created this on Photoshop but I had to
download the template off the
internet. This was very easy to create
and I could add more names.
