Film Poster

MY FILM POSTER



Here i used an image which I extracted from my moving image shots. I decided to do this rather than using a photo as i felt it captured the action rather than a still, posed shot. Once I extracted the image I played with the hue and saturation and then the contrast to make the shadows more intense and successfully recreate the sense of night time as all the shots (except the shots around the camp fire) were filmed during the day and later colour corrected to appear as night. By doing this it allowed me to show night time with more detail and precision than if taken during actual the night in the absence of much light.


EXAMPLE FILM POSTER



This is the teaser poster for the film Shrooms, which is similar in genre to my film trailer therefore saw this poster as a suitable source of research and inspiration for my own poster. The key features in this poster are: the presence of a focal and emotive image, the film title, a tag line, reviews from other media based companies (usually popular magazines or newspapers), certificate rating and a release date. The consistent linking between the composition of the poster is the blurring font, which compliments the focal image of a skull created as a supposed illusion of mushrooms conveniently places in front of a large and ominous full moon. The splash of red writing in the colour scheme adds a useful contrast to all the blues and blacks, giving it an interesting overall composition.
