Short film: Poster mock-upIn this presentation, I will be showing the three main poster drafts that I have edited.

Original picture

These photographs were edited on Photoshop. When editing this photograph, I used a lighting effect to add a circular darkness around the picture to help signify the genre. When doing this I made sure to leave enough space at the top and bottom for taglines, titles and release dates etc.

I also added brightness to the bathroom area to make the scene blinding and overwhelming which exaggerates the situation we see the character is in.

I believe by placing the protagonist to the side shows he is unaware of the forthcoming events which can create tension for the viewers.

I think this and the second picture is the strongest out of the poster ideas as it creates tension and has genre signifiers from the use of mise en scene. To improve, I think blurring and distorting effects would help show the psychological side of the film. However, I would not want to give too much away.

I think the strength of this picture is that it is more up close and reveals more detail unlike the first one.

For this picture, I decided to make it more black and white to create the idea of blurred reality and time. However, I think this image is the weakest because of the camera positioning and different direction of editing style.
