We began to construct our film poster after taking the photos that we needed for it. We planned to use two different photos within our poster. One on the top and another on the bottom. Using a silhouette style technique we captured the photo for the bottom of the poster and was happy with the outcome. this is the photo we captured and decided to use for the bottom section of our film poster:
A problem with this was when we inserted it into our poster design the keyhole shape around the person in the photo was lost due to the black background we used on the poster and the black background of the photo. These blended so we need to rethink this photo and find a way to make the keyhole visible within the poster. we resolved this by placing a grey outline around the keyhole shape within the photo. This made the keyhole shape around the image visible and tied into the grey, white and black colour scheme used within the film poster.
The second photo we were going to use within the film poster caused a dilemma for us. we had two possible photos that we could use, each with there own qualities that we felt made them suitable for the poster. These are the two images we were choosing between:
To decide what photo to use we created two basic version of our film poster, using one of the two photos on each. This helped us to decide which photo we felt would work better within poster. After doing this we decided that the photo with the trees in the background was more suitable.
This was because we felt it connected within the location used mainly within our film trailer. another reason was because the facial expression on the face of the character. Within the photo with trees in the background she has a more serious face where as in the other image the character has a slight smile. this slight smile removed the tension and intense look we wanted to show within the characters picture on the poster we were creating as part of the promotional package for our film.
