The document summarizes the steps taken to create a film poster using Photoshop and Microsoft programs. Photographs were taken of actors and edited in Photoshop by layering and filtering two images together to create a blended effect. Additional text elements like the film title, credits, and release date were then added in Microsoft Publisher. The final poster was printed from the digital file.

1. Creating my film poster

2. Using a standard 8.1 mega pixel camera, I took a collection of photographs of my
actors in different settings. I played around with the use of the zoom leaver to
create different effects and angles. The following slide displays some of the
photographs I originally took.

4. From the collection of photographs I chose to use
these two separate images. Once I had chosen them
I enhanced their quality using a simple Microsoft
picture toolbar where I could adjust the lighting and
contrast of both of the images. On the following
slide I will demonstrate how I collaborated the two
images into one using Photoshop.

5. toolbar
Using Photoshop I layered my two chosen images on top of each other. I could then used
the toolbar to filter the one image through the other creating a blended effect. As the
colours in the two images were similar it made the filter look more natural with the top
image giving a hollow outlook whilst the bottom layer burst through.

6. Once I created my image on Photoshop as shown on the left, i then used Microsoft
publisher to add in the bottom credits and the film titles with actors names and release
date. I found a neutral pastel colour for the title with a simple effective font. However i
then print screened my title so that I could stretch and enhance the font into any
shape i wanted to make it look more contemporary rather than using Microsoft's
standard font size formats.

7. Creating my film magazine review

8. These are examples of how I created different magazine reviews by changing the picture
used. Apart from the photographs, my entire review was created using Microsoft
programmes. The main use of technology in its construction was text colouring and sizing
and space layout.
