Stage 1 editing process for our film poster.

2. We had already had a vision of our poster in
mind when we embarked on our filming day, so
with this in mind we took a few stills on the day
which we could use for our movie poster, and a
few that would be good for a magazine. Once
we had decided which image from the stills that
we took we were going to use, we opened the
image in Photoshop and began, to begin with,
basic editing. As I was familiar with Photoshop,
I took control of this task.

4. The image that we had taken was slightly
blurry, so I used the 'sharpen' tool in
Photoshop to sharpen the image and
make it look of a higher quality.

6. I then played around with the brightness levels
and the level of contrast, adjusting them so that
the image was brighter and warmer, but did not
lose its definition.

8. I then played around with 'levels,' increasing
and decreasing certain outputs, and changing
the levels of each colour within the image. The
group decided that we wanted both the grass
and the diary to stand out and be very bright, so
I adjusted the levels of green and blue within
the image to achieve this.

9. However, when I adjusted the blue colour levels
in the picture, the dandelions and other imagery
on the diary became slightly blurred. To fix this,
I used the polygon lasso tool to draw around
the area where the diary is, and used another
sharpness filter. This was very effective, and
made the diary stand out even more, which is
good as dandelions are a key part of our brand
identity, as is the colour blue from the diary.
