I began constructing this poster using two images. One of Tina which I took, and another of a selection of computer keys which I took off a computer, lined up and took a photo of. This was the basis of my poster.
I then made a heart shape on Photoshop and put it on top of Tina’s face in the photo. I used the Single Row Marquee tool to make a crack in the heart and thus I was able to have a broken heart and inside, a broken Tina. Clearly this links to her being broken hearted and underlines the fact that the film is based around the search to find love.
After, I added a shadow around the heart and the computer keys to make it look more three dimensional. I then wrote the letters of the film on each separate computer key, making it possible for me to choose what size and font I wanted as well as the colour.
I was then able to include the tag line, ‘not guaranteed to make love happen’- this I chose to have in pink to link to the colour of the word ‘(mis)’ which connotes disappointment. I then added in the production name, ‘SICK ROSE PRODUCTIONS’ and the critics review to add realism to the poster.
The final step was to include the billing information where I wrote the names of characters and the director, and the copyright issues. I also included the website of the film.
Most of the information on this poster is exactly the same as on the previous possible poster- for example, the billing information, the production company name and the critics reviews. Now I must decide on the tag line, the photo and the title layout.
Again, I chose to set my poster out in landscape format; although this is perhaps not totally conventional of film posters, I felt I was able to get the composition of the poster to look more professional and fluent.
