Movie Poster

For my poster i wanted it to be simple and not over complicated, i decided to have the main character featured in the middle of the page and close up. Though when editng the image in photoshop i decided to put another layer ontop of the characters face and make it a slightly darker contrast, this way it looks unatural and relates to the title. When i put the layer ontop i made it slightly out of alignment with the orginal image, this way it looks like a horror movie just from looking at the poster. I choose this image because of the blood poured over the face, and the facial expressions that Peter had used while we started shooting the pictures of him. Because of this i liked the relfection off the blood which is commonly used in horror but more as a spot light, the blood is poured on the majority of the characters face so it looks more like a horror movie from straight away looking at a horror poster. I also tried to relate the writing and picture together and i done this by the tag line at the top, with the text first in red and then i added the same overlay pattern ontop in a black/ brown colour. This way the writing doesn't look as clear which is the same as the picture they both look unatural, and just adds more of a illusion.
