To get my final piece for my poster I used a lot of different techniques to make it effective.
- First of all I obviously used a digital camera to take the pictures that are on my poster.
However what i believe I have developed most this year are my skills on photoshop. Last year as I chose to do a trailer, the only time i used photoshop was the beginning of 2008, where we where shown the basic skills on how to use it.
The techniques i used on photoshop, and where i used them...
- Magnetic lasso tool- to cut around the pictures i used, i then copy and pasted them onto my poster.
- Gradient tool-i used this to effectively smear black and white together for my background.
- Adjusting colours-I adjusted the colours of both my pictures to black and white and then changed the lighting and contrast to make it look as effetcive as possible.
- Brush tool-I used this to paint in the blood on the man's chest and on the girl's face to make it stand out from the black and white. I also used the painting tool to colour the man's eyes in red to make them stand out more and make him look evil.
- Smudge tool- I used this to smudge the line at the bottom of the picture of the girl into the white back ground. This made the colours flow better instead of leaving it as a thick line.
- Text- All my text on my poster is of all different sizes and colours. The main text 'Love Hurts' is in bold, and in red, then i added the effect on it to make it seem more 3D, and it make's it sort of look like it's been written in blood. The coming soon is in font in the same red as the title and blood. The text at the bottom is really small because on real film poster's the text is nearly unreadable at a4 size. It's in grey so it does not stand out as much as the other texts because it's not as important, but just says who the director, actors are and who the music's by etc.
- Eye Dropper tool- I used this so i could get the exact same colour of the blood for the titles, and the murderer's eyes.
