Above are three screenshots taken off paint.net of some of the development of my possible poster idea. This image was one of the ones that stood out to me out of all the ones I had previously taken. So using this image, I put it into paint.net and added a effect and played around with the saturation and contrast to get the effect shown above. The reason I thought this effect worked well was because I felt it added shade and darkened the shadows making it appear scarier and as it someone is hiding within the forest. I then added text to my poster, and in doing this I tried out some different fonts in order to see which works more successfully. In the first screenshot, the font is simple. I felt using this could be a good idea in a way of making the image the vocal point. The second and third screenshot fonts are a bit more quirkier as they are 'messy'. I preferred the third font to the second, I felt it looked creepy and related to the horror genre more. I also tried including different aspect in each such as a critic comment in the first, production credits at the bottom in the second and celebrity names in the third. When I presented these three options to my class, they all commented that the simple text was more effective and that the other font types didn't look as good as they didn't look very professional. Taking these comments on board, I will go back to my design with the simple font and develop it further.
