The editing process of the film poster

To start the poster off we took a picture of my eye and uploaded it onto Adobe Photoshop so that we could edit it into looking like it had been shattered. Firstly we made the image of the eye black and white, by using the contrast and brightening tools. We then used the cutter tool to cut out 'distorted' sections of the eye, and then move them slightly to create the shattered effect.

However, when we stretched the eye to fit an A4 piece of paper it looked out of focus and not professional like, but we carried on to finsish the poster adding in tag lines, the headline and release date, just so that we could see what the finished product would look like.

After finishing the film poster we showed it to other people and form their feedback we decided we was going to change the poster as it did not look very professional. Therefore we took another picture of an eye, using a higher megapixel camera.

After importing the new image onto Adobe Photoshop we changed the image to black and white again and using the crop tool we cropped out majority of the eyebrow.

We then took another image of the group of girls that we casted for the film trailer itself, and cut around it so that it fitted in the centre of the eye, we did this by taking the layer that the girls image was on and placing it on top of the eye layer. We then changed the opacity of the image so that the eye could still be seen behind it. After ensuring that the image was in the right place we used the eraser and dodge tool to smooth out the edges.





We added in the text that we wanted onto the poster, but only used a basic font so that we could see if it looked first and where it should be placed.
We then found the font that we wanted and changed it all so that it fitted in well with the stroyline and title.
We then used the text tool to create credits at the bottom of the poster, we used the cast's real names the directors and the poeople that we put in charge of the mise-en-scene. We also tried to stick to typical conventions of a film poster, when setting it out.
