Progression of poster

I have added more company names down the bottom of the poster as I believe it makes the poster look more professional, I have also made another version with a different layout, I have also changed the font for the date which I have used. I have changed it to a more scratchy-looking title, this gives the poster a rough edge which will grab the audiences attention. I am going to ask around on which layout people believes looks more professional, I will consider other peoples opinions to improve my poster.

Progression of poster

I have changed the film title on my film poster. I decided to make this change as the title font I have now is the on we have used in the trailer, I have done this as it is conventional to use the same title on the film poster as the one used in the trailer/film. I have changed the size of the billing block as on my previous draft I thought that it took up too much of the page. I have also added the copyright logo on the bottom of the page. 
I am also am considering changing the font which I have used for the date of release. I am also going to add the production logo into the bottom left of the poster, after this I am also going to create some more production company logos to fill up the bottom of the poster to make it look more professional. Any more changes which I will consider doing/carry out I will post on here.

Removed background on created copyright logo

I have removed the background on my copyright logo ready for my next session editing my film poster so then I can go straight into editing/adding pieces to my poster to make it look more professional. I removed the background on photoshop using the 'background eraser' tool. It worked around the black edges and left the logo on there ready to drag straight into my film poster in my next editing session through adobe bridge, here it is:

Copyright Logo to add to film poster

I have created a copyright logo to go onto my film poster on paint.

Here is an original copyright logo which I found online:
Here is the one that I have made on paint:
I have put it on a black background so that I can remove the background and place it onto my film poster easily on Photoshop with the 'background eraser' tool.



Plan for the next hour editing my film poster

Below is a list of things I am hoping to achieve in the next hour session of editing my film poster:

  • Place a copyright logo at the bottom of the page to give it a professional edge.
  • Make the billing block smaller as I believe it takes up too much of the page as I want the main focus to be of the main image.
  • Maybe change the font of the website as I believe I can make it look more professional if I use a different font.
  • Maybe changing the font of the film title to the one which we have used in the trailer as a group, I am considering doing this as most big films stick to one recognisable font. I also believe that my current font may seem to look more of a graffiti style instead of a scratchy style, I may ask a few people in my target audience their views on it before I change it.
  • Maybe add a Unique Selling Point (USP) to the poster, this may just be the directors name on the poster or the main actor/actors as not a lot is given away with the image of an eye. 

Third Hour of Editing Film Poster

I have completed my third hour editing my poster, I still think that I am incomplete as I feel I need to sharpen the edges on the background image within the pupil. and I also am going to add a 'Copyright' logo which I will make on paint and publish on here at a later date to make it look more professional, I am also going to ask some people in my target audience for points to improve my poster.

Film Magazine research

I have recently thought about how I am going to make my film magazine after I am finished with finalising my film poster, I have done some research and found some Film Magazines I like, I will be doing further analysis on some of these film magazines at a later date. Here are some Film Magazines I found online which I like the look of, layout-wise and image-wise:
