Initial Poster Idea..

This is our inital poster idea! From our location shots where we had tested with practise shots before making our trailer we tested our idea with this image of Steph's eyes to see if our idea would be successful or not.



We took a print screen; Command, Ctrl and 4, and print screened the shot of Kira as Ruth in the corridor. We liked the use of lighting here creatign a silloutte, still obvious it is of a girl. Because the lighting is quite dark and the eyes are covered with the image I believe our genre is obvious to its audience if we were to use this stragedy for our poster in hope to advertise our film.

We did this via AS Photoshop C5 by opening both images in Photoshops and clicking; Command A which selects the whole image so we could copy and paste it onto the eyes photo (Command and V). We then had to transform this image; Command and T and dragging the corner arrows inwards in hope to smallen the photo. We found it easier to zoom into the photo by this point for us to gain a better understanding whether it would work for our project and would fit in the eyes. Because we copied and paste this it is an seperate layer so we could rub out the access of the photo in which would appear around the eyes using the rubber tool on the side bar. We found this quite difficult at first as we werent completely sure where the eyes finished however after chaning the opacity (above the layers) and pulling the bar down, we could clearly see where the photo ended.

We are happy with this design as it looks slightly eerie and creepy showing the genre quite clearly. The only issue we think is what else we would include on the poster deciding on whether we'll have it landscape or portrait.
