When it came to creating a film poster for our film project we first had to get the starring roles (Jim Taylor and Georgia White) present at a location suitable for a romantic movie poster this image was taken on New Years Eve in London Covent Gardens when I was with the couple to see New Years in. To fit in with the title of 'Intimate' we positioned the stars in an intimate embrace. This worked really well for the film poster because of the pun of the title.
When it came to editing the photo we used adobe photoshop and began by increasing the contrast of the photo and cropping the image to the correct movie poster shape. We then added a filter of a grain to make the photo less sharp and make it look like its a personal photograph on a disposable camera- suggesting the couple don't have much time together.
After getting the image to look how we wanted we started work on the graphics of the title of the film having previous ideas we changed the font to a typewriter sort, and added gripped hands around the middle T and I suggesting hands around prison bars emphasising the pun of the title of 'intimate' and 'in-mate'. After finishing editing the title we created a new layer and added the title on top of the image discussing whether to put the title on the top of the poster or at the bottom.
We then added text to the photoshop document and adding the names of the starring roles of the film in corresponding places, and fiddle with the colour and fonts.
finally we created our billing block on a powerpoint document changing and altering font sizes and widths to make the block appear genuine we then coppied and pasted the block onto the poster and located it at the top of the image.
