Above are a selection of our initial posters. They were designed for our first trailer which we had called "manor house", but due to difficulties with our filming locations, we had to change the name of the movie. therefore the poster had to be changed as well.
1) Poster number one would have been the final piece if we had kept our "Manor house" idea. The peachy/dirty looking background was the best colour we found as it didn't draw the eye away from the main images. It also looked the best behind the red lettering.
2) This poster is the same as poster 1, but it has a green background and a hazy middle picture to add effect. We felt that the green just didn't match any of the rest of the poster and looked a bit odd. This didn't matter too much as it was only experimental and we went on to change the background colours and overall effect.
3) Again, this is the same poster just witha red background. we liked this version as all the features seemed to work together, however it still looked a bit bland. I think that where there isn't and sort of fading or effects added to it, it may look slightly unproffessional.
4) Here is the first draft of our final poster. We all liked the idea of an eye, with a photo of a person crouching down photoshopped into the pupil. The only thing wrong with this, is the colour, which i have talked about in "The final poster" part of the blog.
Probleams incurred...
- The photo of the man was part of a larger photograph. Therefore he had to be cut out and placed on a seperate layer.
- So it looks like he is looking into a mirror, there needed to be a line around the circle. There was problems with this because we couldn't get the line to run in a circle without looking fake, or clashing with the other photo. In the end a new poster had to be made with various different layers to be able to make it work.
- Finidng the right colour combinations was a problem because they either didnt work or looked unprofessional.
