This is the final version of our poster, as you can see the image is slightly different from the one before, obviously one the of the first things we did was to add a title to the picture, we wanted the title to just simply display the name of the film. At first we wrote the title just plain, all in one line and the same size and we just scrolled through fonts trying to decide the best one that suited the poster and our genre the most, we did eventually agree on a title that looked good but i though it wasn't good enough and looked to boring so i played around with things like positioning sizing until i was happy with the title. As the picture shows the title is quite different from a regular line of text, the number 7 is a lot larger than the other text, this makes it stand out and emphasises it, i also added some other effects like gaussian blur to make the font appear to be glowing, to add the fading lines to the number 7 i just added motion blur in different directions. I think the finished title looked very appropriate for our poster and our film genre. But because the title was a bold white colour it was very bright, this made the image behind it look very dull and dim so i had to adjust the brightness and contrast levels further, the white and blue shades were not bright enough and did not contrast enough to the darker areas. So i made the brighter areas brighter to get a wider range of tones and so the brighter areas matched to brightness of the title more so they went together nicely. We also was not sure on the best place to put the title, whether it should be at the top or bottom ? or to one side ? or in a corner ?, we experimented by moving the title around and thought that our research shows that most posters have the title centralised in the bottom half and we thought it looked best there on our poster.

This is the edited version of the original photo we took, as you can see we have made some drastic changes. The first change i made was to place a blue filter over the image, what this did was to turn all the lighting and objects that were mainly yellow and brown colours into blue, white and black shades, this made it so the image fit more in with our film genre, horror. We had looked at some other film posters of the same genre and we felt that most of the ones we saw contained mainly the colour blue or red, so we though that this style for our poster would be appropriate. Another change i made was to the contrast and brightness levels, i had the play around with the levels until i had it so it became a complete siholoutee, i made the darker parts darker and the lighter parts lighter, i am still not happy with the photo as it is now as i feel it is too dim and the blues and whites should be a little lighter to contrast more with the black, but overall i think that we have changed the picture very well in order for it to fir out genre and also look good. The original shot was a good one, but it was not one we could just put straight onto the poster, i think we have created a good feel of mystery and horror, also we wanted it to look intrusive, like the killer is intruding into the home, like he shouldnt be there. i am happy with how the poster is coming along but will add more adjustments until it looks more professional.

This was the original photo we took for our poster, we used the doorway to the house we were using for filming, we wanted the shot to be from a low angle to make the figure look dominating, this shot we actually used was one that we just took quickly and was a bit of a tester for all the lighting and everything else in the shot, the person who is in this photo is actually tom Edwards (the victim) when it is supposed to me (the killer) but we figured that you wouldn't be able to tell after we adjusted it in photoshop. The picture we had in mind was a silhouette of someone standing in a doorway to a house so for the lighting we tried to make it as light as possible behind the figure but as dark as possible in front. We used headlights from my car to light up the background and also turned on the light behind the head of the figure, in this photo you can see the face and some detail of the person standing, we didn't want this to show but we thought that we would be able to photoshop it into a complete silhouette. To make the figure appear more scary we tried to show that he was holding an axe and also wanted and outline of the the hood rather than his head as this would hide the identity further and add to the mysterious effect.
