The screenshot images above represents the editing development for our final version for our film poster. I was trying to fill in the gap of Asmaa's hair as you can see from the before image that there is a space between her hair and it looks out of proportions and ruins the composition of the overall image.
So in this case, I have used the stamp clone shown below. The stam clone allows to fill in the gap by getting the same shade and pattern from the other part of her hair by clicking the buttons, Alt key then click to a certain part of the hair that will match with the gap; which I did. This was easy to do as I have had some experience in the past based on my editing knowledge of using ADOBE Photoshop software.
In addition, you are able to see the effects we have used for the level of brightness, contrast, exposure and curves and others of the film poster. These features were included to the poster because the original look for the photo shoot image was too dark so we needed to brighten the image a bit more by increasing the level of curves and brightness of the image.
However, we still need to maintain a contrast of getting a dark shade in order to introduce the genre of our film, which is horror/thriller. I have used other case studies and real media products such as Orphan, Saw, Final Destination and many other similar genre of our film because all of them portray a dark and subtle house style including colour scheme, effects, layout structure and journalism text (elements) for a film poster.
Developing the title of the film poster (colour scheme)
I was exploring and trying to figure out which shade of red taken from the blood of Asmaa's hand would fit perfectly for the title colour of the film poster. Then, I have picked the darker shade of red as it will appear more realistic and appealing towards the target audiences because if I were to choose a bright shade of red, it will appear a new perspective and becomes friendly and that is not something I am trying to convey.
The shade of red that I have chosen is the part where Asmaa put blood on her mouth as it appear a dark vixen colour shade of red. As a group, we have suffered complex as it was 2 against one as one of my team members did not like the chosen colour of the title. But after convincing what we were trying to convey towards the target audiences, she finally agreed to it as she stated that it had worked well in the end so everything has blended well together. After, I was able to include the same shade of red to other element features to add on a film poster which was the tagline, billing box and many more.
Development of Initial Version of Film Poster
The screenshot above represents one of the first stages of me having to create the initial version of our print product, film poster. I have added the billing box at the bottom of the page as seen in other real media products as well as case studies I have seen and carefully looked at. I have also started to include the production logo of the short film as well as the sponsors that helped developed the film and being able to help us advertised our print products as a whole.
I was already familiar when it comes to using ADOBE Photoshop so I did not have any struggles and problems since I was continuously discussing different ideas with my team members as they individually focus on producing other print products, which was film review and writing up the journalism for our review.
