Evaluation: Film Poster

For our film poster we chose to do a kid's superhero movie. Our poster is a picture of a small child that looked like he was flying in the air, in a superman outfit. Our movie for was called Super-junior, we had the little superman in the middle flying through clouds. In the poster he is smiling and has his arms outstretched as if he is really flying. We thought that this would make our poster more realistic.
We created this poster by using Photoshop, we have only briefly used Photoshop before so we weren't that confident with using it to create a poster. Making the poster was extremely difficult at times, towards the end it became quite frustrating. In Photoshop we learnt how to make the whole image brighter and more defined, we used this technique in our poster. We had to cut out the young boy for the film poster, this meant we had to refine the picture more to make it look as if it hadn't been cut out. To cut him out we used the lasso tool, we drew around him as close as possible and then we neatened it up. We did this by erasing the bits we didn't need, then we also had to colour in small parts that we needed. This was quite hard as we had to use a special tool to match the colour we needed, this took long to do. We also learnt how to use layers, so that the picture works well, this didn't take that long as it wasn't that hard. I'm really pleased with the main picture of the young boy, it came out better than I expected it would.
I think that next time we should practise using Photoshop a bit more, because then it will be easier to use and understand, although we did a good job this time next time it could be a bit better.
