The poster came out how the creator wanted, with the main character Mary as the background filling most of the page to draw attention. Text was added in separate layers, including the film title in a horror-style font with a mirror effect, and credits, release date, and age rating to provide important audience information. The creator was pleased with removing the original background and making Mary the clear focus as the main character creeping from a crack.

2. I am extremely pleased with how the poster came out overall. It is
practically how I wanted it to look. I decided that I wanted to use this
image as it doesn’t show anything about the film. However it gives some
sort of idea for the audience what will be included. The female gives a
sense of who will be in the film, this suggests that she is the main
character. The female is highlighted by the light drawn to her to make her
the main focus.
The first thing I did when creating this poster was to add the main
character ‘Mary’ as the background filling 2/3rds of the page. I decided to
make her more transparent but only enough so the text on the page is
bold, this will entice the audience. I have also removed the background, I
will insert the original picture below so you can see what has been
changed yourself, but the back ground is completely gone, Mary is the
main focus which I am extremely satisfied with as the curtains we used
have disappeared giving the look of her creeping out of a crack.

3. The image above is the original before I edited it.
The next step was to add the film title ‘Our Little Secret’. I played around
with the title several of times, I moved it to the top of the page, to the
bottom, in the centre I then tried out different fonts but then I found a
much more original font which was ‘Tranjan Pro Font’. I wanted to go for
the horror look so therefore I chose this font and added the mirror effect
to reflect off the moon. As you can see the film masthead has been also
lightened by adding a more transparent look. I believe this font works well
with the masthead and poster as it creates the horror/dark theme. It was
hard to create but when I played around with it I got the hang of it.
I used separate text layers to add the rest of the text such as ‘the secret is
out’ and the credits etc. The layers added were separate colours for
example the tagline ‘our secret is out’ is all separate words and have been
made to have the same font for continuity but different colours to match
the rating by The Guardian and the Logo of Ancient Moon Productions. I
believe the audience will see the link. I placed the actors names above the
release date with the font being white as it stands our but doesn’t draw too
much attention whilst having the same font for all the stars names, so for
the names I used the same font as the rest of the text on the poster.
Finally I added the little things onto the poster such as the production
company’s logo and the age rating which is targeted towards 15 year olds.
This is a vital part of any poster as the audience must know who the film is
targeted at so they can see the film. I decided to add a 15 rating on their as
it was most realistic plus it was rated by the British Board of Film
Classification – BBFC. The writing for the release date is in the same font
yet again more continuity however the size is much bigger than the
credits, I aimed for it to stand out more. This information is vital because
whoever views this poster will know when the film is going to be released.
However I never put the full date on I only added the month and the year
as we were still under construction with the film itself.
