2. The van
After producing the first draft of my movie poster I decided to get feedback from
my media teacher to see if she could see any
improvements. She said that I was going
along the right lines, how-
ever, instead of using the
copyright free image of the
van that I sourced from the
internet I should try to use
an image that I have
produced myself. After this
feedback I went about
looking for someone I know
with a van that I could use.
3. Brainwave
I thought that this would be a good idea as,
from prior research, I have discovered that
other movies such as ‘Raiders of the Lost Arc’
have also used hand drawn images for the
poster.
I asked all over to try and find a van that I could use for my poster. However, I
was unsuccessful in this so I decided that it might be a good idea to get one of
my friends to draw it for me. My friend, Charlotte, is an incredible drawer so I
asked her to draw a van for me.
4. Removing the background
In order to see the fading in the background of the poster I needed to remove
the background of the drawing of the van. To do this I used the website
‘clipping magic’ as I have used it before and so know that it is reliable and
easy to use.
I then removed the original image of the van and replaced it with my new
one, layering the ‘more than meets the eye’ text over the side of the van
once more.
5. Text
I then just had to add a few finishing touches to the poster. First I added all of
the small print at the bottom of the page. As I was unsure how this should be
structured I used the poster for ‘The silence of the Lambs’ as a template
6. After the text, I also decided to add twitter and facebook links, which provide
other methods of promoting the film.
