Final Draft of Movie Poster

Here is my final draft of my movie poster, I really like the outcome.

Finishing My Movie Poster

Once I had the main part of my image drawn, I knew that half of the struggle was already over, this left me time to enjoy composing my idea and bring it all together. That left constructing all the layers together. To do this I first of all found the images on google images, made sure there was either no copyright or I got permission to use them. I found the credit block on an open blog, complete with instructions on how to download it to use on Photoshop. Once I had my writing placed in the template I then again went back into its features, stretching it and warping it to make the perfect credit block. I made sure the font was then centered. As you can see I stretched it 130% in height and condensed its with to 85%, also resetting the spacing settings to 25, so that it wasn't too squished and still readable.

Planet Earth (full advert)

So I just came across this on Facebook. I couldn't not share it, it's almost like an advertisement to save Planet Earth itself. I found myself drawn into the video,  the powerful visuals were enticing, the music was emotive and full of feeling, with a clear point on what it was trying to portray. I only hope my movie teaser trailer is half as good as this empathetic piece.

Movie Magazine Research

Last night I took a trip to my local Tesco's to try and gather more information on music magazines to gain a better understanding of their codes and conventions. I tried to find the magazines that related to my magazine and target audience the most, considering factors such as genre, layout, colour scheme, illustrations, title and main image.

Font Experimentation

Here is some of the experimental fonts I have been testing out to match my poster. Picking a font is easier like this because I can compare products side by side. Personally, I like the last version best. I changed the size and width to manipulate it to fit.

Second draft of my Movie Poster

Following my targe audience feedback I made the appropriate changes to my poster to suit their needs. I am quite happy with the shape it has taken now as it looks far more like an actual movie poster.

Adding Colour

I knew that adding colour would have a huge effect on the overall outcome of the poster so I experimented with a range of green hues. I primarily created a colour layer beneath the white illustration and above the black/grey background. I realy like the effect the airbrush tool had on the colour, it left it smooth and seemless like skin tone, but green. I started by selecting a large brush, around 200, selected a dark green hue and began to block i the dark areas of colour. As I worked my way closer to the higher parts of the face the natural contour, I then decreased my brush size and adjusted my colour closer and closer to white from dark green. I am pleased with the outcome, as I didnt think it would turn out as effective.
