Original Image

Pictured left is the original image of the picture I chose out of my photo shoot to actually use for my poster piece. I thought it was essential to include this image to show the changes I made in order to show how I have made the poster look more conventional/professional.

Clone StampThe first change I made was using the clone stamp to eliminate the paper edges underneath the notebook. This was because when looking at the original images, the newspaper cuttings underneath made the image look too crowded and left me unable to place text effectively onto the piece without it appearing messy. By using white paper underneath the notebook, it would allow me to place text far more easily and make the image look less cluttered. Thus I removed the paper edges to make the background appear more professional and less messy.

Brightness and contrastI increased the brightness and contrast to quite a degree when manipulating my original image to give off more of a low-key lighting effect. This is because this is conventional in a drama thriller poster as the thriller genre is usually the more prominent genre conveyed through the image. To achieve this, I lowered the contrast much more than the brightness to give darker shades, especially on the mystery hand.

Colour BalanceI decided to change the colour balance so the image had more of a blue hue to it. This was not only to make the image appear darker, thus sticking to the thriller conventions again, but to go with my consistent house style that runs throughout my pieces where blue is always a very prominent colour.

Canvas sizeThe last manipulation I decided to make was to increase the canvas size of the image. As the white background could easily be copied, I selected an area ,copied and pasted it on the blank canvas area to make the image seem bigger. This was initially done to ensure I had enough space for my tagline of my film as I planned to set out my poster in a ‘Z composition’. The tagline is important to view and identity with as it is a persuasive element in actually getting the audience to come and view a film.
