Ancillary Product #1: Poster Production

In the past week I've been working on creating the poster for my film. When I started looking at adding filters to my short film I found that the 'threshold' effect looked particularly interesting when applied to an image of Michael, taken from the short film. After taking a screenshot of this, I went onto Photoshop to enlarge the picture and put it into a format that would be suitable as a poster. I had to use the paint tool to get rid of a few splashes of white dots so that the image would look more powerful.

Another stage of making the poster included adding the text at the bottom of the poster. This is important because it outlines details such as the actors' names, the production companies and important individuals involved in the making of the film e.g. director, producer, editor etc.

I came to add a caption to the poster and I've experimented with the styles I've gone for since. The four ideas I designed can be found in the next post.
