Development of my Horror Teaser Poster

The Original photoI have used this photo for the background of my poster, with using Photoshop I will be able to create a basis for the main figure daisy.

The posters main Picture I will use this picture as my central image, in front of the creepy house in the picture above.

Background This background will be put behind the house to give the poster a more scary and sinister look. Clouds are also the sign of something to come, therefore this will make the viewer feel as if, there is someone or something going to hurt this girl in the poster.

JLA PRODUCTIONSFor a more professional look on my poster, as well as the trailer I created a trademark to show that it is my own trailer, that I have created. I have done this with the intention that it will be a well know trademark, like 20th centaury fox.

The final teaser PosterFirst of all I have cut the house and have tried to make it look even more old and spooky than before than the original picture. I have used the clone stamp tool the green moss on the roof, to make the building look older. I have also used the sharpen tool, to sharpen all of the edges of the house, to make it stand out from the cloud.

I have put the credits as well as the trademark stamp JLA productions, and the certificate 18 symbol to make my poster look professional.

The clouds behind the house have had further editing, I have dimmed the brightness of the clouds to make them look more suspicious.

I went through many different fonts in Photoshop, but I did not feel any of them suited my film. I then used the website da font and I think, I found the font I was looking for. A slightly destroyed, but bold font that has a scary edge to it.

The tag line insinuates that, someone or something is watching the person in the poster, I feel that this acts as a cliff hanger because people who look at the poster now want to know who will be watching.

The image in the center of the magazine the girl has been edited through many different ways. Firstly I have changed the brightness down and the contrast up, the effect I was trying to create is that she is alone and scared. This is why she is in black and white, the contrast makes this point stand out to the audience more. I have also taken away the bracelets she was wearing but left her watch on the hand. I thought the bracelets took away the scary element, but the watch complimented it looking a bit like a handcuff. Furthermore I have used the quick selection tool, in Photoshop and highlighted as well as darken different points on the image. This gives a more unnerving effect to the audience.
