Creation of the poster The stages I went through to create the poster
Step 1
•I started by creating the poster; I set out the appropriate page size (A4) and I coloured the background black as I felt this would contrast the Polaroids well.
Step 2• I then added in the
picture of the Polaroid that I had sourced from Google images and I changed the size using the transform tool so that it was prominent on the page.
Step 3• I then moved onto
adding in the picture of Becca. she is playing the role of the stalker so she needed to be dominant over the picture of George. I used the transform tool to change the size of the image so it fit into the Polaroid frame.
Step 4• I then duplicated the
Polaroid layer but shrunk it down to make it fit in the space in the top right hand corner; I then added in the photo of George that we had used in the film as this would link the trailer to the poster.
Step 5•I moved onto adding
in the caption. We decided as a group we would use the caption ‘it’s a long way down from the top’ I added this on the Polaroid as I had decided this in the designing phase.
Step 6• Next I added in the
name of the film and I used the same font as the trailer to connect the two products. I then added in the institutional information and I made sure that it was a small font as this is common on movie posters.
Step 7• I had designed the date
to be written in numerical format; however I felt it was better to be seasonal as it would get the reader interested in searching for more information which means they may come across the website which links both of the products together.
Step 8•After completing
our analysis of the BBFC guidelines we had decided upon a 12 for our film and we felt it was important to add this into our products.
Step 9• I was going to have
the logo however it didn’t feel this fit in with the colour scheme well so I have decided just to add the name and a copyright sign as this is common on film posters.
Step 10• I used the following website
to locate the font for the actor’s names- you could click on the letter of choice and then copy the picture and cut the letter of choice out. I did this for the actors name as it linked in with the idea of the ransom note font within the trailer.

Step 10 continued• After copying all the
letters I needed into a black Photoshop file I filled in the coloured letters with either black or white so that they would fit in with the colour scheme of the poster
Step 10 continued•I repeated this
process for the names of both of the actors and I inserted them into the space on the large polaroid within the poster
