Above is my final film poster, which I had created using adobe packages such as InDesign for the text, Photoshop for editing the picturesand adobe pro to make snapshots from trailer and insert them into my poster. I believe this poster is successfully as it includesconventions which you would find in a professional film poster. Such as the institution logo, release date, certification, and key actorsnames. I used to grey to symbolise the sadness for the dad inside the film who gets killed and also to give the impression that this is ascary film as grey is a dark colour. Likewise the red text for my film name so connote for high level of blood within the film.

Logo: I have used Photoshop in order to createmy institution logo. I have used the film reel toallow my audience to recognise “fireworkfilms” as a film institution. I have used effect onthe film reel such as inner showdown to makethe image much darker and match the fontcolour.

I also Photoshop ruler tools to help me align mytext, and to ensure my logo was the right size forgoing onto my film poster.

I have change my default colour text of black tohelp “films” stand out these is because I want tomy logo to be easily recognised as film logo.Likewise does the alliteration help my audienceto remember my institution name.

Template: To create my film template I usedPhotoshop because it was the industry standardand allowed me to edit my images to aprofession standard.

I have used a city image to help alert my audienceof the location of my film. In addition I have usedPhotoshop blending mode to help the city to fadein with the grey background.

I also took images from my film trailer andinserted them into my poster . This was because Iwanted my viewers to have a look at snippetswhich they would see in my film

Finally, I have used the brush tool on my mainimage to was to help my image blend in with thedarker square, so it would not appear that theimage had just been cut of at this point

I have used InDesign to add text onto my film poster. This is because Photoshop recognises text as images so text can becomedistorted. However InDesign does not have this problem, hence my reason for using the software. In order to create my finalpiece I used YouTube to help me learn new technique such as using in design to create transparent text which I need to know howto do in order to make “Friday 13th May” visible over my knife image. In addition I also used InDesign’srule feature to help me position my actors text equally in the centre.
