Creating my film poster

Using a standard 8.1 mega pixel camera, I took a collection of photographs of my actors in different settings. I played around with the use of the zoom leaver to

create different effects and angles. The following slide displays some of the photographs I originally took.

From the collection of photographs I chose to use these two separate images. Once I had chosen them I enhanced their quality using a simple Microsoft picture toolbar where I could adjust the lighting and contrast of both of the images. On the following slide I will demonstrate how I collaborated the two images into one using Photoshop.

Using Photoshop I layered my two chosen images on top of each other. I could then used the toolbar to filter the one image through the other creating a blended effect. As the

colours in the two images were similar it made the filter look more natural with the top image giving a hollow outlook whilst the bottom layer burst through.

Once I created my image on Photoshop as shown on the left, i then used Microsoft publisher to add in the bottom credits and the film titles with actors names and release date. I found a neutral pastel colour for the title with a simple effective font. However i then print screened my title so that I could stretch and enhance the font into any shape

i wanted to make it look more contemporary rather than using Microsoft's standard font size formats.

Creating my film magazine review

These are examples of how I created different magazine reviews by changing the picture used. Apart from the photographs, my entire review was created using Microsoft

programmes. The main use of technology in its construction was text colouring and sizing and space layout.
