The document summarizes the steps taken to create a movie poster for a black and white film about a race between a tortoise and a hare. First, photos were selected and a draft poster was made, but it was deemed unsatisfactory. A new poster was then created with a black background and the photos cut out and placed on it. Elements like captions, logos, and text were added and styled consistently in red, black, and white. Circles and frames were also added to elements to make the poster look more conventional. The final poster credited the creators and kept with the black and white color scheme.
4. BLANK DOCUMENT
So with the research I had, I decided to make a new one properly…
Since the film was in black and white I will make the poster black and white but this
time using a black background.
5. BEGINNING OF CREATION
I then used the same photo from the previous poster, because I like the idea of the tortoise posing as
the victor saying ‘ I won’ while the hare looks disappointed and sad due to being the loser.
I used the magnetic lasso tool to cut these to characters out onto the black ground.
6. CAPTION BORDER
I wanted to make it more related to the film so I decided to use the border
from the captions in the film.
8. STROKE
I put a stroke around the text and the characters so its more visible…
9. ADJUSTMENTS
I thought I should make it my poster look more conventional by using circles
as frames for the pictures…
10. SIN CITY EFFECT
I made the circles of the characters smaller , then decided to stick to a colour scheme
of red, black and white, so I changed the logo to red, added the title of the film at the
bottom and made ‘The’ – red.
11. CREATORS SPACE
I used this photo of me and my partner so the poster gives us credit and it informs
the view who created the film. I used the ‘poster edges’ filter so the photo loses
quality, I put it in a iris and then I ‘desaturated’ it for the black and white theme.
