SCREENSHOTSBy Molly Smith

This presentation is based on the making of my poster for my short film. There are a range of screenshots that are annotated or explain what I was doing at that time.

Throughout the making of my poster, I used many different tools to help create a more realistic film poster. This is the main tool bar on Photoshop.

This is the crop button I used on several occasions to crop down images.

The eraser tool is one that I used more times than what I can remember. There are three different types of eraser that help remove unwanted parts of an image.

This tool was one I had to use a few times to make an image fit in better with the poster and to help make it look more realistic. I mainly used the smudge tool to blend in parts of an image.

This ‘T’ tool was one to help me write in the title, subtitle, tagline and the credit block.

The of the most relevant things I needed to know when creating the poster was that you need to transfer an image you are using to the actual poster itself in order to get the image on the poster.In order to do this you need to duplicate the layer with the image on and change where you want the destination of the copied layer to go.

This is how I started off making the poster. I got this image from the internet and thought it would look good for the poster and would make a really creepy effect.

I then got this picture off the internet to act as the shadow in the trees. I then used the ‘quick selection’ tool to outline the shadow to make it easier for me to remove the background.

After removing the background with the ‘quick selection tool’ I was left with this so I used the eraser tool to get rid of the rest of the background.

After removing the background I used the ‘rectangular marquee tool’ to cut the shadow in half because I want the shadow to go slightly behind a tree.

The next step was to add the moon. To do this I added a picture of the moon I found on the internet and then used the ‘rectangular marquee tool’ to get the trees in front of the moon to make it look realistic. I also added a glow to the moon to make it look more realistic.

I added a path to the poster by getting an image off the internet and using many tools such as the ‘polygonal tool’ and the ‘rectangular marquee tool’.

I also changed the colour of the path to make it fit in more with the forest by clicking on the layer, then pressing the ‘image’ button at the top of the screen, then the ‘adjustments’ button and clicking on the ‘curve’, ‘brightness/contrast’ and ‘levels’ buttons.

I then added the title by clicking on the ‘text’ button and then typing in the name of the film. Once I done that, I then clicked different buttons at the top of the screen to change the font size, style and colour.

I wanted a blood drop to drip from the title to make it look more scary and emphasise the horror genre, so I got an image from the internet and then used the magic eraser tool to remove the background of it.

I then wanted bloody footprints on the poster to make it seem more scary so I found an image on the internet of footprints and I first cropped the image using the ‘crop’ tool.

I then removed the background of the image by clicking on the ‘magic eraser’ tool and in order to get the footprint to look bloody, I clicked on ‘curves’ which is located under the heading of ‘adjustments’, which is under the heading of ‘image’.

This is the first draft of my poster. Unfortunately I didn’t have enough time to finish the poster by adding a tagline and credit block etc.
