I decided to keep my second draft poster with not a lot information on it, but instead having the picture as the main focus.
I decided to have the picture as the background again and i edited it by using the mosaic tool, to give it a more grainy effect. This gives off the effect of a photograph which links to the plot of the film. Kate's face is also lit up and surrounded by black so she is the main focus, the black behind her gives off the impression someone could be hiding, and because she is looking around it also adds to that impression. Having a close up image of Kate has given me a different insight, as before I had mostly long shots. I now like both and I am undecided whether to use a long shot or a close up in my final draft.
I then did the film title, and even though the picture being a close up makes the title not as noticeable, I still think it fits in well. The white with black behind it contrasts with the background so it is clearly visible. The title is liquified again which gives off a scary effect, and also along with the picture gives a clue to what the film is about.
I then did the release date, I didn't put the release date in italics this time as I felt the italics were becoming a bit too much. I think it works well having space and not being just below the film title too as it gives it room to be noticed more. I kept it white with black behind it like the rest of the text as this is an on going colour scheme because I think it works well and gives off the scary effect I want.
Then I did the tagline, I have decided I like the tagline being on the right hand side as it makes it visible next to the picture. I think the tagline looks good here because it doesn't cover her face, only her hair and the background, so it is against darkness.
I then did the actors and actress' names at the top, I decided for this draft I would put two people at the top to see if it looked better. I think it does because after looking at my poster in more depth I thought having one focused too much attention on it. I am still not completetly sure if I am going to have both names on my final draft yet. I liked how they were white and contrasted against black because although they were both small it means they can be seen clearly from a distance (e.g. if someone was looking at poster's on a shelf from another part of a shop.)
Finally, I did the billing block. I made this smaller than last time and put more information on it. I like how it looks now because you can't really notice it, but it is still there if someone wants to read it. I think my billing block is going to stay that small, even though in my next draft I might experiment with making it italic and with different colours.
