 a film poster

Katerina Walsh
I initially went
              to Parkhurst
              forest to take
              pictures that I
Pre-editing   could use to
              replicate the
  stage.      “Friday the
              13th” film
              poster.
   The        The trees were
              similar to the
 original     ones in the
 photo.       actual poster.

           adjust the
           exposure and
           the colour so
           that the
           image is
           darker and
           closer
           resembling
           the film
           poster.
Third stage of
     editing


In this stage I
put the image
                   I also used the
on to Photoshop
                   same technique
and began to
                   with the paint
darken my
                   brush in white
figures
                   and lowered to
surroundings
                   opacity. This I
with the paint
                   put over the still
brush tool and
                   visible areas and
used to low

hardness so as
to get the misty
look around the
edges.

                  paint brush
                  quite
 Using separate

                  block so I
                  extended the
                  image.
Fifth stage

 poster    was basically
           finished, I
           just made
           the billing
           block a bit
           darker so
           that it
           doesn’t draw
           attention
           away from
           the main
