2. Style sheet
This the font I want to sue as my main
title for both my poster and DVD cover, I
have chose this design as I wanted
something that was simple and easy to
read, I either want the title to be red or
white as most thriller poster titles are in
the colour red or white. I chose the
splatter effect on the font as when
researching thriller posters I notices at
lot of them had a similar font, for
example…
I want my title to have a similar font to
‘Joker’, it’s similar to the font I chose
however the text seems to be stretched
height wise and the splatter effect is
very subtle and has different opacity's
through out the title which I like, I also
like the slight Ombre effect from white
to a light grey, it’s noticeable but not to
noticeable.

3. Style sheet
This is the colour scheme I have chosen for both my thriller
poster and DVD cover, these are the colours I have selected
as these are the main colours featured in the game I am
basing my project on. Most thriller poster and DVD cover
have at least one main colour in their production that
stands out to their audience, the colour I have selected to
be my main colour is the dark green colour as it is the most
vibrant colour out of the five I have selected.
I want to include all these colours in my projection and
possible more that are similar to these, however I do not
want and super vibrant colour like red, pink, blue, orange
anything of that sorts, I want everything to be subtle as
thriller poster have very simple colour schemes but they do
always have one vibrate colour to stand out, but I don’t
want that for my production, these are example of some
thriller posters that don’t have super vibrant colours.

9. Contingency Planning
Potential Issue Solution
The photos I have taken are blurry. Take multiple shot’s while shooting to pick out
the least blurry photo with the best quality.
Losing the work I have done. Make sure I constantly save my work and make
a copy of it.
Lighting issues. When taking my photos make sure I have
enough light so they car clear and you can tell
what's happening.
Don’t reply on editing. When I take my photo I need to make sure they
are as close as they can be to what I want them
to look like as editing can’t fix everything.
Camera dying. Make sure my camera is fully charged before
shooting.

10. Health and Safety
Potential Issue How will the issue be
avoided?
Knife photo could hurt someone. Make sure that the knife stay’s in the position I
need for the photo, don’t mess around with it.
Headaches. When I’m editing my photos I need to make
sure I’m taking break’s so I don’t give myself a
headache.
Back pains. Make sure I’m sat in a comfortable position and
that I keep changing my position.
Shooting at night. For the car photo I want it to be dark outside,
when doing this I need to make sure I’m safe
and not alone.
Wet surfaces. When shooting for the car scene I want it to be
raining, however I will have to be carful to not
slip on any wet surfaces.
