Poster Work

Yesterday morning Piyal, Matty, Jonny and myself all went to Matty's house. We had a green screen set up so we could do some photos for the poster. Jonny being the main character in our film was the person we were taking photos of and we had him doing different poses. These were the photos we took:



Later in the day after doing some more filming Piyal and I chose the image we thought would best fit into our poster and developed that image and the poster around it.



Firstly using Photoshop we cut out the green screen and made this area transparent so that when we moved the image onto the poster we would just have the outline of Jonny rather than a square box with green mixed in. This then went onto the poster we had made before with red clouds instead of the black ones and also a blood dripping effect on the letters to make it seem more genre related.



However we didn't feel it looked right simply as an image on a cartoon style background so we played around with the effects and found one we thought looked really good.



We then added the other titles, including the names of the two main characters and the catch lines for the film. However we are still missing the "SUMMER 2012" and the small writing that will say "A PPM Production, by Patrick Greenberg, Matthew Springett, Piyal Matilal and Conor Whitehouse". We have left these out at the moment A. Because we don't know where to place them
B. Because we want to use a different font for the "SUMMER 2012" and I want to talk to the others to get an opinion on which this should be.



I feel this is a good response to the feedback we received in class about our 1st draft as we have inserted a second image, added colour, are going to use more than one type of font and made both titles fully in capital letters whilst at the same time keeping the themes we liked about it in the first place by keeping it in a cartoon style. As well as this we have followed conventions by using catch lines and putting the names of the main actors in smaller font above the title of the film.
