Making the Poster

Making the Poster

From the photo shoot we chose this image as it allowed us to illustrate around him. By printing and scanning in the image into photoshop we were able to hand draw the doodles. This sped up the process as we has more control.

Wanting to add colour, we used the draw tool and selected different shades of our logo colours, yellow and blue. This highlighted the doodles and was in keeping with our brand. Were used courier new for the tittle as this features heavily on our website, instagram and Facebook, as well as in the actual film.

We found a website that showed us what is in the small print on posters. We kept it white, as this is what is can be seen on a large mogirity of movie posters. Because of this we wanted to change the tittle colour and placement so they weren't so connected.

Linking the film to the production company, blue lemonade films, we experimented with the colour of the tittle. Yellow on the two ends, like a lemon, and blue in the middle, to represent the "blue lemonade". However the blue did not stand out enough. We tried to rectify this by altering the brightness and contrast. This did not help. Moving on we tried adding in a caption/slogan for the film, as this is stereotypical of most films. After a few attempts, we picked a line from the film that had a real impact on me. "what happens when your mind becomes a pathological liar" It's gripping and intense, which is what we want people to think of the film.

This is the final poster. We removed the doodles as we preferred it without, and injected the colour into the tittle and star ratting. We included logos from film festivals, which have short film categories. I really like the physical aspect of the doodles mixing with the overlays on photoshop.
