Theatrical Poster

This is the theatrical poster for our film "Hidden" again created by using lots of layers on Photoshop  this poster is the main one so it needed to be really eye catching ,effective and strong. This poster is there to tell the audience some of the story ,give you ideas about the plot and vital information about the film. We tried our best to make this poster the most complex with the right sort of image and including the right information. To start we darkened the eye by using the burn and highlighter tool to make it more horror like , then we added the image in the eye which is infact this image from the trailer.

This is a very j horror type of thing to do and its similar to "The Grudge" and "The eye" posters . After this we layered the caravan which is one of the shots from our location shoot, then in Photoshop we used the "darken" blending tool to give it this effect as it matches the dark color of the eye and tells the audience where the trailer is set . Next we layered in the the billing form we created , the casts names along the top also in the same text as the billing form to make it connect, the "Hidden" film title which is also the same font but we made it taller and spaced it out more. Then added the sub heading which is our film slogan which is featured on other of our texts.  Lastly we added the sun and film 4 star ratings which we created by using the star shape paint brush ,these ratings are on many film posters so it made ours more professional and also gives the audience a hint that other people think its a great watch and may persuade the viewer.

After showing the class the theatrical poster they were really impressed and thought they were really effective and horror like, they couldn't suggest anything to change but pointed out some missed spelling mistakes, these were then corrected and the final correct copy can be seen below.
