I began by taking the original image, and using the gradient and colour editing tools, I was able to transform it until it was black and white, as I felt necessary. I did this to create a gloomy atmosphere, appropriate for what my film will be.

I set the pixel resolution to 1500x1000 as oppose to visa versa, to make it landscape instead of portrait.

1. Colour editing

2. Inserting additional objects.This is the original picture (copyright)- http://d1jqu7g1y74ds1.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Moon-09.04.04.jpg

First I removed the background, and adjusted the brightness and contrast slightly to alter the effect to my liking.

After removing the background, fading it slightly using the opacity tool, and altering the intensity of the colour, it came to this.

Inserting Text I chose to name my film “Entangled Black” I set the text to -200 in width as oppose to the set 0 And the font style to Engravers MT I gave the title an “Inflate” option and set the bend to -7 This gave the appearance the text was in the river, looking more professional.

^^ “15” film rating logo used. I chose to make the 15 logo appear in black and white, I did this so it

didn’t contrast the rest of the poster, keeping it gloomy and intentionally dark as to not make it stand out as oppose to anything else I portrayed on my poster.

Age rating

Discreet imageI decided to place an almost subtle figure of a person in the bottom left corner, it’s discreet as I thing it’s a nice touch to a film poster, it can be an effect film posters use for almost a hidden reference, or just a nice additional touch.

Smoke to the backgroundI used this image of smoke, edited out the background and faded it to just 5% opacity in order to create a Smokey/gloomy cloud effect.

Throughout the PowerPoint I addressed each image and the reasons as to why I used it, but I have added some extra information in the following slides where I felt it needed to be mentioned to comply with the questions required level of detail.

As a general, the images I used were bleak and lifeless, lacking colour, all corresponding to the theme of my film. I used 5 images to create the professional yet depressing poster I was aiming for. The images I used were generally along the sombre and sinister lines, to reflect on the film.

1.1 I can describe what images are needed

I listed a couple of the images in which needed copyright laws, however as I edited all of the images this was not a requirement. I have taken into consideration the laws and implications of copyright.

1.3 I can describe what copyright and other constraints apply to the use of images

The images I used all complied with the context of my film, and the general downgrading idea of my film. As the film is intended to be a physiological thriller (more so than a horror) the images reflect on that through where I have placed them, how I have edited them and the edits I have placed upon them

1.5 I can describe the context in which the images will be used

The majority of my images are small and more subtle, which is intended for the audience, I felt the background I used was mature enough and simple enough emphasise what I wanted it to fairly independently, without the use of too many additional objects.

1.6 I can describe what file format to use for saving images to suit different presentation methods
