Firstly i went on google and found a background suitable for my poster in a jpeg format so it would be suitable to stretch for my poster without blurring. I used this image because it is a dark room with nothing really in it,therefore i can fill it with my own sort of stuff.
I then used the gradient tool on the floor to make it look darker, i did this because on some of the images took of my characters i took from waist up and they had no legs on the picture, so to disguise that i then used the gradient tool to make the floor dark so you wouldn't see it, after i did that i was glad because it actually made my poster look a lot better.
After choosing my background and inserting it into photoshop i then took my photos of my characters/ models and uploaded them individually. The first photo i chose to upload was this one which was my main character as you can see. I did this by opening a new page and inserting the image of the model onto it
i then used the magnetic lasso tool to go round my character to get the shape and not the whole of the image because some of it was useless. I then dragged and dropped him into the picture with the background.
After doing that i adjusted the light, i did this with the gradient tool i did this to enthersise a lighting effect on one side of my model and keep him dark on the other, I thought that this was good because it tied in with the theme horror.
After doing that I then took another picture of somebody and used the magnetic lasso tool to cut the image out and insert it onto my image, i placed the model further up so it looked like he was in the background.
I then did the same and inserted another model onto my image making her look further behind the other character. When taking the picture i told my models to look scared to tie in with the theme of my poster. I used the same tool as i did the others to cut the model out and to insert it onto the main image.
I then added my last character on the right, who i also asked to look scared, which kind of worked... i used the same tool as i used the last 2 times to cut my character out, after i did that i dragged it across onto my main screen. I put my 3 characters on the right because that is where i adjusted the light to make it brighter, because that is the good side.
I then inserted the character i wanted to look like a ghost, i did this by the same way as all the others, opened a new tab and cut around it and dragged it onto my page.
I then added my character in order to make him more ghost like i used the liquify tool and blended him into the layers with an eraser brush, this then stretched him out so he looked rather blurry and stretched.
After i used the eraser brush and the liquify tools it came out like this, so i kept the original image and added this on the top to make it look more blurry and scary.
When i finished messing about with the tool trying to make it look ghost like and try and give it a moving effect this is what it ended up like, which i thought was kind of cool.
I then added my board, which is basically the whole point of my film poster, because it is about a board game, i located my board game right in the middle of the poster and gave it an outer glow so it sanded out a little bit. I also got the image off google and believe it or not it was really bright and full of colours, so i then put it into photoshop and played around editing it and made it look like it was old fashioned.
After doing that i then added an age rating to my poster, i did this to show the certificate i created it for, and to show which type of audience it is suitable for.
I then went on google to find a logo for a company logo who focused on horror and i found this blue house one, i then inserted this onto my poster to give it a sense of realism.
After that i then inserted a credit bar, which included my own names, and my own words which i made up. I also did this so it would make it look more real rather than a poster made just on photoshop.
After finishing the bottom of the poster i inserted my title 'triskadekaphobia' this is a word which means you are scared of the number 13. I went on the internet on a fonts website and chose a suitable font for my style of poster, i then downloaded it and wrote it in that font changed it to red with a shadow effect and inserted it onto my poster.
After doing that i inserted all the names of my characters i used, i did this in a simple white font all in capitals to make it look professional and inserted it at the top of my poster above my title.
Finally after all this hard work this is my final poster what took me a few days of hard work to get my head round the software, but it was well worth it.
