Creating my poster

1. Creating the title (Photoshop)

Text Tool

The first thing i did to create the title for the poster is to  use the 

Font and style for title text.

text tool , and then to type the text "THE BOX" with the following font 

and style. 

This is the original title with no added brushes.

To create the splattered blood effect I used a Photoshop brush and brushed over the tile in a new layer.

This is the end title after applying the brush to the original text 

2. Creating the main image for the poster 

To get the photo for my poster I needed to get a picture of the actor playing the protagonist, so i could then zoom the image in so the poster only shows the protagonist's eye.

I then needed to crop this i did so using the crop tool shown below, i then re sized this image to make it larger so it would not pixel ate when adding it to my poster.

I then decided to enhance the image, this will make some of the details on eye stand out more and become brighter.I did this by using the dodge tool in Photoshop and applying "mid tones" and then the same again however this time adding "highlights" instead of Mid tonnes" and finally i selected the eye and used "feather" 6px. Here is an image of the end product.

I also needed an image of the main prop "The Box" to go inside the eye as it was a reflection.To do this i first took the image shown below:

I then had to crop this image out to do this i used the crop tool in Photoshop to cut out the background and be left with only the hands and the box,I then filled the background in black as this is the colour of my poster background the final image is shown on he right.

Adding the images together to create a reflection 

For my poster I needed to make the box look as if it was being reflected from the eye, so to do this I opened the enhanced image of the eye i created and then dragged in the image of The box and placed it over the pupil of the eye.

I then selected the layer with the opening of the box on and screened

this layer, this gives the effect that the image of the box is being reflected.

 

 I then used the earaser tool to erase any background of The box image that is no inside the pupil of the eye, as this takes away the illusion of the reflection within the eye.

Adding the credits and other extras

Credits-The credits i used for my poster where created by downloading an extension font, in which it allowed me to enter my own credit style text that proffesional movie posters use.This Font also came with commands that when pressed inserted logos such as DVD logo and other logos  typically seen on movie posters.

The rest of the text used -"Coming soon" and "#openthebox" (social networking link) is all used from pre set fonts in adobe photoshop.
