Above was a first draft of what a possible poster idea could be. I took an image I had previously taken, and placed it into paint.net. I then added a negative black and white effect which completely changed the image making it completely black with limited white parts to reveal the female figure. The reason I liked this design was because I thought the image was quite powerful and felt it related to the horror genre. On top of the image, I added in two different texts for both the film title and then the 'coming soon'. I quickly picked out two fonts, made them red and then placed them in the centre of the poster. Although I felt the positioning was good and worked well, I thought it looked a bit unprofessional. I don't think this poster would be the best in advertising my teaser which is what led me onto my next development below...
Above was the next development of my film poster. In comparison to my last attempt, I felt that this one was more crisp and realistic. Again, I took a picture I had previously taken in my local park, put it into paint.net and added a effect featured on the software.I put the saturation of the image right down, played with the brightness to get the effect I wanted shown above. I liked the edit because I felt that it emphasized the shadows beneath the branches making it appear that something or someone could be lurking within the forest. I then took a plain text and added in the title of the film, a 'coming soon' and critic comment in plain white. The reason why I chose to keep it white was to keep it simple as I wanted the viewer to concentrate on the image. Looking at this draft of the poster I think that to develop it further I could possible overlay another image to make it more obvious what genre my film is. Another problem with it, is that there wouldn't be a critic comment for a teaser trailer as no one has saw it yet, so this would also have to be removed in my final poster.
