Slogan ideas

Evaluation- what I learnt
From this task, I was able to have a rough idea what slogans I would like to have in my poster and what would be needed to grab my target audience's attention. This task also helped me figure out what picture I would like in my poster which will be a combination of Jane and Lucy's face in my poster. Without this task, I wouldn't be able to know what further amendments would be needed in my 3rd draft poster.

Mock Up Plans

Mock Up Plans For One Of The Cursed Poster

Final mock up plan

Evaluation- what I learnt
From doing this mock up plans for my Cursed poster, it allowed to know what format I should be aiming for and the varieties that you could have in poster mock up plans. The reason why I did not change the main image's central position is because I would like the main image to have the main attraction rather than the style and format of the film title, credits and slogan.

This task has allowed me to figure out what masthead I would like in my magazine and allowed me to work effectively individually.

Possible magazine pictures

Evaluation- what we learnt
From selecting pictures to give me some possible magazine ideas, it has given me to think individually much more than deciding what is best for the group. This has also given me the ability to understand what type of mood I am hoping to portray when the audience looks at my magazine and whether or not I want the attention to be focused on the antagonist, Jane, or the protagonist, Lucy. But, what we learnt collectively as a group, is the importance of figuring out what idea we want to have for our magazine from the pictures of the Photo shoot or the film itself.

Photoshop- the making process (Poster)

1st attempt
Commentary
In my first attempt, I had a picture of Lucy which I have dimmed her black in sync with the background. This particular first attempt had given me the opportunity to play around with Photo Shop. Therefore, there was not an excessive amount of editing in my first attempt.



















Second attempt

In the second attempt, I edited pictures of Lucy and Jane together. I put a crumpled wall which I found online which I overlayed with the picture of Jane. I darkened the parts of her eyes to make the picture flow more effectively. As I wanted to give the same effect the film 'Black Swan' has given, I made sure her iris and eyeballs were seen but not seen in a way that would make Jane's face lose the sinister and sinister effect. I put both the pictures of Jane and Lucy side by side and blended the pictures together by positioning and darkening parts of Jane's hair. Luckily, I have already edited Lucy(protagonist) thus making it much easier to put Jane and Lucy side to side.

I made the title by an online software called 'Title Generator' which it already had a similar format to the one shown in my second attempt poster. But, this was difficult to add to my poster as the poster's background details made it harder to add in on my poster. Thus, I had to watch a Youtube video of 'How To Change a Picture's Background Details on Photoshop' at home to change this. This had successfully helped me thus allowing me to add my title in my poster and I changed the colour from its previous colour of Black to White using a colour tool so it can easily be shown in my Poster.

Evaluation- what we learnt
From researching and selecting appropriate film posters, I learnt the significance of slogans and how it can help make a poster better than it actually is. This enabled me to figure out what the other members of my group thought about the sort of poster I was aiming to achieve as well as knowing what their film poster inspirations were. This research has given me the opportunity as well as the members of my group what Horror film poster has gripped our attention and whether or not we want to have the same ideas put in our Horror posters.

Poster analysis

Evaluation- what we learnt
From this poster analysis, I learnt the key code and conventions within Horror film posters which will give me an idea of what it is needed for me to create my own Horror film poster. The reason why I chose to analysis the posters of these films is because they share similar code and conventions of my own Horror film so this will enable me to understand what type of features within a poster I should hold great emphasis.
