Before

Editing

This picture was taken while we where filming the window shot used

before I title sequence in our trailer. We felt the image was perfect for

our poster as the looming figure in the window is quite haunting for

the viewer to look at and felt the simplicity of the image was perfect

for our style of trailer.

After Editing

We felt the image needed to be refined so editing using Photoshop, we

brought down the levels making the image darker. Then increased the

contrast giving the image silver, metallic tones which we felt would be

perfectly enhanced by glossy paper when printing the image. We also

made the lighter areas darker as it created a more haunting atmosphere.

We then further edited the image by cropping it down even smaller as we

wanted our poster to be portrait instead of landscape and wanted to focus in

on the subject in the window.

We then began cutting out our film title logo and coloured it in a dark

maroon red , as the poster will be in black and white following our style of

trailer we felt that it needed a pop of colour. Also the red is symbolic for

blood and love which follows the plot of our piece as the mother loves her

family, but spills their blood as it seemed like the right thing to do.

After cutting our the title we felt that the lines were not smooth enough so placed

a blur filter on the text softening the lines and colours with is a perfect contrast to

the sharp and metallic tones of the image.

Below you can see the final out come of our film

title after all the editing on Photoshop. We then

placed the text on the poster layer it over the

photograph.

Then after placing in our title we added a tagline ‘With Pardon in her

Pitying Eyes’, which is a reference to the poem ‘The Angel in the House’ by

Coventry Patmore. This where part of the concept for our trailer was

developed from which is elaborated on in my blog. We placed the text at

the bottom of the image so as not to obstruct the view we have of the

subject and make you work your way up the poster seeing the text at the

bottom first especially went printed large for marketing.

The poster was lacking in information so placed a critics rating at the top of the

page , which is a common feature of a poster and felt would raise the standard

of our poster.

Then moved the section further up the page so we could fit in a second piece of

critics review.

Then second critics review we put in was from the Sundance

film festival as we felt that it was perfect for our independent

genre of work.

We felt to give the viewer a better understanding of what the film is

like before having previewed the trailer we need to put a more film

reference quote in giving them an idea of what style of film it will be.

We then placed the date in at the bottom of the

page.
