The first thing i did to make this poster was to take an image of Jamie using the SLR cameras in front of a plain, white background so that the image is easy to crop out. Once i had taken the photo i put the image into photoshop to i used the 'colour range' (Which is the second image on this post) to remove the white background and able me to move the image onto my background for the poster.
The background i chose is of a derelict mental institution as it matches the theme of what i was going for which is horror.
I then imported the image of Jamie onto the image of the derelict insane asylum placing him central to the image so that the background is still visible.
I then cropped an image of a knife that i got of Google images, using the magnetic lasso tool on photoshop.
The next stage of development was to place the knife into the hand and removed part of the knife that was covering the thumb. I then covered the hand in red using the paint brush tool and changing the transparency so that it didn't look as thick and so that you can see the hand behind it.
The next stage was to cover the jeans in blood and use the same method of appliance as i did with the knife and change the transparency so that it looked realistic.
I then created the title using the text tool and using the font Crime scene so that it correlated with the genre of film and so it looked bloody. I also added drop shadow and inner glow to give the text an outline so that it stands out of the page. Finally i added a red glow around Jamie to make him also stand out and look a lot more evil.
The next stage was to add the reviews and star ratings to the bottom of the poster. I did this by adding one individual star then duplicating them several times to form the five star rating.
I then added the star names at the top using the text tool so that the names are a prominent part of the poster and attracts the audiences eyes to see who is in it.
At the bottom of the poster i added the credits of who made the film and who acted in it. I chose to put the credits at the bottom as it is a main part of the poster.
In the bottom right hand corner i added a 18 BBFC certificate, to show audiences that this film is a horror and is not suitable for people under that age.
Finally i added the tagline above the title which says 'HELP ME' due to the story of the film being about a serial killer who is trying to repent on his sins. The font i used for the tagline was Charlemagne Std, i used this font due to it standing out from the other fonts on the page and is a typical horror font, similar to what is used on a slasher film.
Below is my finished movie poster.
