FINAL CHILDHOOD POSTER DESIGN

We are really pleased with our final poster design. The layout is quite simplistic but spooky- too many images would distract the audience from noticing the main image and the secret that lies within making her face as, if you look close enough you can notice, Katie's face, our chosen actoress to play the main character, is made up or coloured in if you like, with screen grabs of the props we used in our teaser trailer. We believed this would be interesting therefore the audience may be intinsed by the film because of how intriguing only the poster is and if they are found of our poster then they may go on to watch the film thinking the film must be much better. You will notice that practicing this poster design before hand, without doubt, extremely benefitted us to adapt a poster we felt best suited our fluent genre and teaser trailer design including all filming details for example, props, layout and colour schemes. For another example, Katie's eyes were very dark and a faded blue in our practice; we aimed to find the option on photoshop to change her eye colour to be more brighter and bluer, however at first we struggled and could not identify this option. Come next lesson we sussed out the colour option and changed her eyes to exactly how we wanted. We feel they really grab the attention of any individual viewing this poster- an audience member would almost be drawn in to the colour we have chosen for her eyes hopefully increasing the number of audience viewers interests. I thought that the title we used for 'Childhood' in our teaser trailer was slightly bland to copy this onto our final design poster, so I contributed and suggested to add effect, almost edit the title and came up with the idea to continue the theme and incorporate the effect of screen grabs from our teaser trailer of props that we created to form the visual of Katie's face for our main image, into our title. We took a lot of time and effort to fit the screen grabs into each and every individual letter. It was tricky at times, cropping the images avoiding not to step over the lines of the letters but worth the time and effort we put in. On some letters we even decided that not all the letters needed to be filled with individual screen grab images I felt it would look 'too perfect' and neat and if we did so, then that would be ignoring our genre and physcologial characteristics of our main character. Most importantly, the opacity was decreased on each individual screen grab, to the same figure of opacity as we chose for the formation of Katie's face (our main image) as I keep repeating that I believe for a chosen genre, there has to be a fluent link between images, information, layout design, colours, fonts etc. Not everything has to be the same, but tweeked in it's individual way which does not even have to be obvious.
