This document describes the steps taken to edit an original image for a horror movie poster. The image was initially plain and did not convey any genre. Exposure levels were adjusted to darken aspects of the image, but it still lacked horror. Finally, brightness was turned down and contrast increased, creating darker tones that suggested horror and tied into a black and red color scheme.

1. This was my original image I decided to
use and this is before I started editing.
Before editing this image didn’t suggest
any horror or what the genre was. I
knew I needed to use different effects
to change the way the audience see my
image.
I added an effect that slightly changed the
image. This was the exposure levels,
therefore they changed the levels of light
and made darker aspects more darker.
Although I felt there was still no level of
horror being portrayed and the poster
needed to be a lot darker.
The final editing I did on my poster
was to edit the brightness and
contrast. I turned down the levels of
brightness and increased levels of
contrast to include darker aspects to
my poster. This also ties in why my
colour scheme of black and red.
