Film Poster

For are movie poster we wanted to keep the same theme as the movie therefore using a simple layout to hold suspension and leave mystery to our audience. As shown in are previous research we were inspired by the sixth sense poster, having the theme of the black background and the main picture focused in the centre of the page. By using photo shop i manipulated the photo of the cake with candles and changed the brightness and contrast, i also used the round cropper tool to pick out the section we wanted to focus and and by using the inverse button changed the rest of the photo black to blend in with the background. I think this was a very effective image and the orange of the flames worked well with the deep black background.
For the text we wanted to keep it plain and simple, and using the obvious black on white effect worked well as it made the writing stand out. We researched posters so we could pick out items to use on ours. For instance the writing at the bottom of the poster listing all the directors and actors is very life like to the posters that are out at the moment.
We also used a tag line to draw in the audience and leave a sense of mystery about the film as we did not want to give away the story line from the poster.
I think our poster came out very effective in the end and I'm pleased with the turn out, the only disappointment i would say would be the quality of the photo, as we only took it on a digital camera therefore not getting the best quality pixels.
