Film poster's analysis

Hey fellow internet users.
My post is going to be about the three different movie posters that I have analysed called "She's the Man", "The Conjuring" and "Mr & Mrs Smith". I have chosen these film posters because of the different categories Comedy, Horror and Action.

The title of this movie poster is "She's the Man"  this links in with the main picture on this poster as it tells you that a teenage girl would be dressing up as a school boy. In this picture it shows the boy/girl putting his finger up to his/hers face so this would tell the audience that they are now part of a secret and that no one knows about this new identity that she has taken.

The colours that they have used in this movie poster are pink and blue. They have used the stereotypical colours to signify the different genders of the teenager.

In this movie poster the teenage girl and her secret identity have been enlarged and put to the front on the poster to tell the audience that she is the main character and she is here to play no games as she fools the four smaller people that are shown much smaller than this teenage girl  that she is a boy.

The props that they have used in this movie poster are a football and a mirror. The girl that is looking at her self in the mirror would show that she in the queen bee, that she might be the popular girl at the school and all the boys fancy her. The boy that is spinning the football on his finger shows the audience that this boy is going to be the sporty guy through out this film, as his top is off this could show you that he might be very big headed about his body.

The title of this movie poster is "The Conjuring" the word conjure mean something appearing from no where unexpectedly as if it was done by magic. This tells the audience that this film will be about the unbelievable.

In the movie poster there is a woman in a rocking chair holding a doll which is staring towards the audience in a dark squared room as if there is no escaping. This shows that this film is going to be able an old woman and her doll. As the title of the film is "The Conjuring" maybe the old woman in the rocking chair might take over the dolls body as she a demonic demand as she cannot escape from this dark room that she is put in. 

They have used no tag lines or slogans in this movie poster as the picture talks for it's self. On the top of this movie poster in small writing it tells you this the film is the same directors from Saw and Insidious. This tell the audience that this film will be scary and will have capacities and spiritual demons.

The title of this movie poster is "Mr & Mrs Smith" This automatically tells the audience that this film is going to be about a married couple. The font of this title is sleek to show that the couple are very powerful people.

In this movie poster you see a picture of two people 'husband and wife' leaning on opposite sides as if on a wall. 

The husband in this picture is wearing a suit as if to say that he a well thought of man and that he has business to tend to. The prop that he is holding in his hand is a silver gun. This shows you that he could either be a dangerous man or he is a detective. 

The wife in this movie poster is wearing a slim fitting black dress with a slit to show off her sexy legs as she is a young elegant woman, which also shows of the small gun that is tighed to her left leg. This shows the audience that this woman could be a dangerous woman and is out for the kill as her facial expressions are fierce as if she's not impressed with what she see's. The small silver gun which is tighed to her left leg tells the audience that the couple maybe against each other or are agents that work together. 

Thank you for reading my blog. 

I will be back soon. 

Creating a CD album

Hello fellow internet users.

                                       


When creating my own CD album  I first went onto my colleges learning box to collect images of a trumpet, CD and music notes. When editing my CD album I used Photoshop. Within using Photoshop I open these different images into three different layers so that I could easily remove their background by using the tool bar, when doing this I first selected the image that I wanted and scrolled onto 'Select' then I clicked on 'Color Range' by doing this I was able to chose which parts of the image that I wanted to remove.

Then once I removed each background from my images I then scaled the pictures to size and positioned them into the places of my canvas that I thought looked right. I did this by going onto 'Edit', 'Transform' then selected 'Scale'. I was also able to make my images rotate by hovering over the corners of my image until a curved arrow appeared.

Once I positioned my images I needed to think of a name to call my CD album which is 'Notes Of The Horn' I did this by selecting the 'Text' Tool I then chosen which format that I thought would suite the name that I have given it.

Once I had put every thing in it's place I used the 'Effects' tool so that I could brighten up my images and also give them an 180% shadow. I also used the paint tool so that I could create a rainbow effect coming out of the trumpet.

Expendables Poster

Hello fellow internet users.

When creating my own poster on The Expendables, me and my creative media class at Hyde Clarendon Sixth form College took pictures of ourselves using the green screen so that it was much easier to remove the background when editing the pictures together on Photoshop.

When removing the green screen from the background I used the Magnetic Lasso tools and inverted the image so that I could delete the back ground. I had also when onto Select on the tool bar on the top of the screen and then went onto Color Range, used the shift button and the mouse to choose which parts of the background that I would like to get rid of. I also used the same techniques when editing the age certificate and the Warner Bro's logo onto the poster.

                  

The next thing that I did when creating a movie poster was finding which font I thought wold work best for the theme of The Expendables. I did this by using the website Dafont. The font that I had used was called Capture It.

                                     

When I had finished placing all of the people that is shown above on my poster into order I had to think of a tag like that would attract the audience was to watch The Expendables. I used the font Charcoal CY I sized it so it was 80pt and use the effect by clicking onto fx which is in the corner of the bottom right hand corner, and scrolled down to Drop Shadow so that it would make the text stand out more from the background.
  

Once I had finished editing the text and placing each picture I went onto Google Images to find a picture of an explosion so that I would create more of a war zone effect. I enlarged to picture so that it would fit the whole canvas, I did this by using the tool bar at the top and selecting Edit, transform and then Scale so that my image would not become blurry when bigger.

 

When I knew that all my editing was done I when onto my colleges learning box to find the Blurb for my poster. one I had transferred the blurb from the learning box to Photoshop I edited the writing by using the Text tool and selecting the writing so that I could edit what I wanted to act, produce, edit and the production.          
                                                     

Using Photoshop

Hello fellow internet users.


When using photoshop I used several different effects showing my ability of understanding for the future date when using such software when creating my graphics work.
