Poster - Photoshop - The making process

Firstly, prior to making my poster, me and a group member went outside to take pictures of our school and its surroundings as this was the setting of our horror film. Once i started to work on my poster on Photoshop, i intertwined two photos together, one picture was of the school and another was of a forest setting that was taken on the backfield of my sixth form. I then blended the two images together through the use of a feather and blend mode tool as well as opacity and brightness settings to ensure the picture of the school and the forest look like one picture.  i then used  a black and white image tool to make the overall cover look more dark and sinister which would help me produce an effective horror poster. I also used a black fill and mask overlay with a brush tool to add and infuse a dark atmospheric environment onto the cover, this added a mystical but conventional tone to my poster cover. Furthermore, i added an age restriction sign , release date and personalised credits on the bottom of the cover which adds authenticity to the cover and makes my poster look professional. 

Mock Up Plans

Down below are a few mock up plans for the layout of my poster. These layouts are some ideas of what my poster will include and where it will be placed on the cover. Drawing up these mock up plans enable me to experiment with different layouts for my cover which will help create a suitable and effective poster cover that looks right and appeals to my target market.
