This is my final poster, What I have done is put a drop shadow on the title so that it stands out more, I did this by going on layer style and click on drop shadow. I then moved the tag line and removed one of the reviews. I then moved everything to the right so that it gave it that diagonal effect. I also put the paragraph of the film making to the left hand size and put it out of the way. I am really pleased with my poster and I feel I have achieved a lot by making it.
The main colours I have chosen for my poster is mainly black and a tinted white, I have chosen these colours because it shows the contrast between the good and the evil. I also put a gradient filter on the poster so that it looks like the evil in coming into the picture and taking over gradually, that is what I wanted the image to portray to my target audience.
In the poster I used the mirror as a symbol so that it looks like he is in control of the whole situation. I did this by getting a picture and editing it into the mirror so it looks like Myles is looking into it. I then had to stamp the background of the background of what I used and put it onto the mirror I then put a light gradient onto the background to give it that light effect which you get on a mirror. Also in the poster I made it like an never ending cycle which when you look more closely you will be able to see. What I have done is because he has two totally different personalities I have done it so that its a never ending cycle to it because he can't get out of it because they are both him. So what I have done is I have put glass in front of the image, and no glass on the mirror, so it makes the audience wanting to know more about the film.
I think with the poster I have created you have to really look into it to try and get what it's about. This poster I have done is different to everyone else because it's got a lot of detail and you have to properly get the picture unlike some were you can instantly see what its about. Also my poster looks like it has a good storyline to it, with the way there is loads of things going on. I think my target audience would be a wide range of people ages from 15 and over because its a horror and is on at the movies at Halloween time. The tag line of my poster is really twisted and makes you wounder whats going to happen. It makes people think and makes it play in there mind until they go and watch it to find out what happens.
With my poster I'm going to place it on a billboard and on the side of a bus and on the internet. I am going to put it in these places to get a vary of audiences and to get it known to everyone, because of the time it comes out its going to a lot of competition with the other horror films that are going to be on at this time so I have tried to make my poster look more unique, and not give to much away on the poster, to get people drawn in and watch the movie. With the poster the pleasures that come with it are the two different personalities which are totally different, you no from the poster that there is going to be a lot of action and horror involved.
I used my Idea from one poster idea to create this my final. I firstly took a series of photographs which you can see on my blog , then I got a picture of a mirror. I had to do a gradient fill on the mirror to make it more realistic to make it look like a mirror and to fit with the image. I also had to edit the photograph of the background to make it look like the photo was in the same room. I had to edit the face to make it look more evil. I have edited the title onto the photo. I did this by (OCR A Std) font. I have also used a tagline saying " there are two types to every secret. I have also added the date when it's going to be released. I have also done some reviews of the size I have yet decide about the style of writing I am going to use for the review of the poster. I have also used a gradient filter so you can see the light to the darkness, because of the evil and the innocence within the poster.
With the poster I can see that some people make take an alternative reading to it by it being hallucinating and looking in the mirror but from what people have said about the poster there hasn't been any miss understanding of it.
How Effective My Poster Is
The tagline of the poster "there are two sides two every story" is a kind of a mysterious tagline that when you think about it has got a deeper meaning to it that actual title and makes you drawn into the movie. The way the word 'two' is spelt instead of 'too' is quite unusual and makes you want to know why it is done like that. The amount of depth that the poster has shows that it is a complex film, for example the breaking of the glass on the poster apart from the mirror itself. I don't think it's one of them posters that you can just look at. I like the fact that in the poster it has a red bold title to show the horror side, to show that it is going to be gruesome. release date of the film in October it makes it even more of a horror film with hallooween, it wouldn't be a kind of movie you see at valentines day.
Influences I Had
Influences I had was one that I analysed which was shutter Island. The reason for it was the dark colours that it uses. And how the poster uses the red text to stand out. and the white text for the rest of the words. I used this format for my poster because I thought it looks effective and also it has a mysterious feel to the colours. I also got some influence from the poster lovely bones, what I liked about this poster is how the colours in one part is quite bright at the top and then it starts to go down to a dark colour like there is more to the story.
