Plan for tomorrow film poster editing session

Tomorrow in my next editing session I need to add the website of the film and the date of release, I have already got the text which I am going to use for the release date, all I need to do is remove the background from the text which I used of the release date, then save the image which I would have edited, then drag it from 'Adobe Bridge' into 'Adobe InDesign'. After this I will re size it so it will stand out on the page so the reader can see when the final release date is. After I have done this I will finalise on my film poster and tweak on minor changes which I feel that I might need to improve, if I change anything then I will post it on my blog.

Second Hour editing film poster

I have spent my second hour in the editing suite, this has been another productive hour as I have added my tagline underneath the eye ball, 'YOU CAN RUN.. BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE'. I decided to use a scratchy looking text as it would add affect and would relate to the genre which I had chosen of a 'psychological thriller'. I have also completed my billing block roughly, I am going in a free tomorrow to edit this, I am not too sure weather the red goes with this poster, therefore I am going to get a second opinion from somebody who is in my target audience and I will then decide which color to use, and weather to change it from red to a different color, but so far I am enjoying the process of making this film poster and I am spending my time effectively/productively.

First Hour in editing film poster

To create this image I had to play around with the size of the eye as the background layer, I believe I have found a correct position for this to happen, I have locked this layer now, so the image cannot be moved once I am editing the rest of the poster. To get the title 'DEPRIVED' onto the film poster I had to remove the background with the tool on Photoshop  I have placed this on Layer 2 as I want to make sure that the title runs over the top of the image.

edited version of main image

I have edited my main image to go with the color scheme which I want, here it is:
I managed to do this by increasing the contrast and brightness in photoshop of the original image. I then clicked on the button 'desaturate' so the picture went black and white, after this I edited the colors which could be seen, I wanted a very dark blue to be seen, I believe me doing this, has made the photo look more effective and makes the eye look more frightened or shocked.

Main photograph which I used

I have chosen this as the main image for my film poster, I will post an edited version of this which I will use as the background of my film poster.


Website for poster

As a group we have come up with a website name. We have come up with the website 'www.DeprivedFilm.com'. We got this idea from professional film posters where they would advertise their website. An example of this was on the film poster 'The girl with the dragon tattoo' where at the bottom of the poster it advertises the website 'Dragontattoo.net'

Tagline chosen for poster

As a group we narrowed it down to two different taglines through process of elimination:
'You can run, but you can't hide'
'Come out, come out, wherever you are'

We finalized our decision as a group by asking people in our target audience, the tagline which had the most votes was 'You can run, but you can't hide'
