My poster

I decided that the best designs contain a single figure and a simple colour scheme. To emulate this, I decided to use the lighting effects which I have previously experimented. I cast a model to wear the mask which will appear in the film and used a high birdy with red gel combined with a bright light from behind to create this image:



Using Photoshop, I removed the background, leaving a simple image of just the figure. I then added the cast information and the title to the picture. To make the image stylish and similar to the illustrated designs of early film posters, I decided to add a paintbrush effect. This is the resulting image.





After recieving audience feedback, a common complaint was that the title YOUR TIME IS UP was more suited towards a tagline. Also, the text was too small. In my final draft I edited the size of the canvas to make room for the text, rather than put it on top of the image. This is also an acceptable size of film posters. The film's new title is THE HUNTED. Another complaint was that it was not clear that this was a horror film, as it could also be a sci fi. Although I disagree, I do understand how this can be misconceived. I did think that the mask and the red light would be enough, but now it is too late in post production for me to add a knife to the character. Instead I used the photoshop effect of motion blur to create a more ghostly film logo, while increasing the quality of the font.
