19/03/12 - Editing the film poster

Here is a printscreen of the image that Jeni opened in Photoshop CS4 to begin the editing process. After changing the brightness and contrast, the image developed an orange glow that was similar to the one used on The Sixth Sense poster we were trying to imitate. She also tried to blur some areas to blend in some of the harsher lines. We may retake this photo so that the legs of the abductor are more in the centre of the poster so that they can be focused on more. We also ensure that the window cannot be seen in the background, as it distracts from the image and lessens the impact it could have.

This poster is what we have taken inspiration from, as it is simple but also effective. By using only the one image with the number 6 in an orange glow around the dark, unidentifiable body, and the simple white text used for the title, they have created a poster that draws the audiences attention. It is an image that sticks in your mind, which is why we have used similar ideas when trying to create our own film poster.
