2. This is the chosen image in which we imported into ‘Adobe Photoshop’. This
is the image before anything had been edited on it, so it is ready for us to
start editing to make it more appropriate for a horror film poster.
3. This is showing the cropping tool. By using the cropping tool on Adobe
Photoshop, we can clearly see where the middle of the cropped picture will
be; this is very helpful to us as we want the model to be in the centre of the
poster so that it looks conventional.
4. This is the image after cropping. As you can clearly see, our model is situated
in the middle of the image, therefore making a conventional poster. It will
also help to balance the film poster out when we come to edit the text onto
the image.
5. We have lightened the poster using the ‘Brightness Tool’. This has helped us
to see the coat better on the model so we can brighten it to make it more
visible on the poster. We also raised the contrast so that the colours stand
out and look a bit more clearer.
6. We have lightened the coat by selecting the ‘Paintbrush’ and setting the
‘mode’ option to ‘overlay’. We then selected the colour white and set the
opacity to 20%. This has allowed us to paint over the coat in a faded white
colour to brighten it up. We then made the background a tad darker using
the ‘brightness’ tool.
7. This is the finished product after all
the editing. We feel that this image
would make a great poster as it looks
very conventional.
You can clearly see the model which
helps make her stand out from the
dark background, and it also makes
her seem more important to the
audience.
We now need to import this image
into Photoshop without the layers so
that we can add text and
institutional images to it.
