Film poster options

 This was our orgional idea about what our film poster would look like, this is because when we was getting some basis shots we came across this pose with the angle of the camera which gave a great atmosphere to the way in which the picture can be interpreted by our two very diverse target audiences. The kinds of edits in which we did to this poster were;

• Changing the background by using various different tools on photoshop which enabled us to give the picture more of a realistic feel to it, rather than making the picture look like it had been positioned in such as way where it looked fake. The goal which was to enlighten my face but to darken the surrounding area so that I stood out from the environment in which I was in.
•  We added in some text into the picture to make the picture look more like a film poster, we added in the title and the review from TOTAL FILM ( which is our chosen magazine producer) which was a typical convention of the film poster so we decided to follow the conventions of a film poster.

This was not our original idea and nor was it something in which we thought about but it was something which inspired me to do. This is because I was researching film posters and I came across Pearl Harbour's film poster which inspired me to have peoples faces faded in to the background buy having our own slight twist in the poster. This is generally because as a whole package we are trying to challenge the conventions of a typical war film. We challenge the conventions of a war film within this poster because we have used all females which back in the day- women nor girls were allowed to do the same things as what the men did as this was just not seen as part of normalisation within their society.

This photograph is something very simply done with the use of Photoshop, here we added some layers  on top of the original background image and then this allowed us to adjust and alter the highlights and the shadows within the picture. Once we had changed the main colors we were able to edit the smaller imperfections about the image such as removing foliage in the background, toning down the brightness of my face ( the one in the middle ) so that we could make it look like I have been beaten up. For this particular image Emma was the creator and the developer but we all had an input into it by giving suggestions and so then Emma adjusted the picture according to the suggestions. However by looking at how the image is situated with the layers and the atmosphere in which it projects is more of a sci-fi film rather than the desired war film. The angle of the picture is also strange and unnatural to the viewer this is because of the angle of the picture which can seem quite 'alienated' - which is an audience feedback from one of our target audience.
