2. First we imported the edited image into Adobe Photoshop ready for the
completion of our poster. We added the title at the top of the poster. We
used a font named ‘Freaky Typewriter’ which we downloaded from DaFont.
At first we tried it in white to see what it looked like.
3. We didn’t like the font white for the title of our poster (and film) so we
changed it to red. We both feel that it looks better in red as it stands out
more than the white. The dark red also would remind the audience of
blood, as it is a similar shade of red.
4. For the tagline, we decided to use the same font in which we used for the
title. We also spaced the letters out more to give a better effect, otherwise
they look all squished up. We chose the colour white so we could anchor it
to the billing block, and the other text later.
5. We first tried out a font to see if it worked, and it does seem to work perfectly
for the billing block. As the billing block is usually a narrow tall font, we
searched for one on DaFont, so we could download it to use for the poster.
The font we found was called ‘Tall Dark And Handsome’.
6. Here we have the billing block. We have included things such as
music, actors, editors, directors, etc. We have chosen white text to make it
stand out from the background.
7. We have made the non-important text smaller like they do on professional
film posters. This makes it look conventional and more realistic. We believe
the font that we have chosen to use it perfect for what we intended.
8. We added the release date above the billing block to make it seem more
important to the audience. We have chosen to use the ‘Freaky Typewriter’
font as we did for the title. We have also spaced it apart like we did for the
tagline so it’s not all squished together.
9. We added a web address for our movie at the very bottom of our film poster
as it is conventional for films to have them. This has been spaced apart like
the tagline, using the font ‘Freaky Typewriter’. We have chosen white text to
like with the other text around it.
10. We decided to add more to our billing block. We added ‘Main
Soundtrack, Creep’ and also ‘Soundtrack By, Jeff Tymoschuk’
11. Lastly we added the institutional images. We added our own creation
‘BradZoe Productions’, the rating, the sound company, and the production
company ‘Twisted Pictures’. We made the small institutional images white to
link in with the surrounding text.
12. This is our finished poster. We believe
it looks very conventional for a horror
genre film poster.
The red film title text stands out
greatly more than anything else on
the poster, which is good for the
audience to see that first.
Overall, we are very happy with the
way that it has turned out.
