Today we worked on our film openings promotional poster. We chose a photo that would be suitable; we all agreed that the photo should have space for the films title, our films slogan, the names of the people in the film, the release date and age limit (15 years). For example we needed blank space around the figure of Demi (playing India). I acknowledged that the eye reads from right to left in a zig-zag motion - as shown in a previous post of mine as well to the left.
We chose to edit the photo using Photoshop, adding darkness to the background and blurring out the edges of tree branches and leaves. This made Demi (playing India) stand out and highlight that she is the main focus of the film opening - the protagonist. We made Demi skin a little lighter so the colour would highlight her red cut along her cheek bone and bruising around her forehead, cheek bones and jawline/chin.
We added the title, The Unhinging, above the image of Demi in bold, crackled font making it appear like wood or bark - linking with the 'unhinging' element of our film (the unhinging of a lock).
We then added the names of the people starring in the film and the release date, using a smudging tool to create a blurred, out of focus effect connecting with the theme of our film opening of being lost and unaware India's surroundings.
We added the slogan on the left hand side of the image of Demi, making it appear she is looking towards the text - 'From her fear she gained strength'. We looked at various slogans of Hollywood Blockbusters such as Red Riding Hood and Harry Potter for inspiration.
