This is our final horror poster for 'Till Death Do Us Part', creating this poster in my opinion was the most challenging as we had created a copious amount of different covers and none of them actually looked realistic enough or was satisfying to the other group members as our skills collectively in photoshop were of a higher standard.
In this image above, you can see the 3 different posters that we created, the first image was just a starting point for us, as we didn't really plan the whole poster out properly so we were just messing with a few ideas and images to generate a solid idea for our poster. We finally got somewhere with our 2nd image, as we finished the first draft [which took several hours after school and several hours into the early hours of the morning] we still felt like the poster was incomplete and didn't seem 'horror-esque' enough, so we changed the background to a more darker/cloud effect and edited the villains eyes inside the clouds to convey that he's watching our 'final girls' every move no matter where she goes, therefore relating back to our trailer which is about 'stalkers'. I then photoshopped our 'final girls' picture into the piece of paper that the villains holding. This image is the picture that our villain burns in our trailer, and you may not be able to see it clearly but our final girl is also wearing the 'key-heart' chain which is a very significant symbol in our trailer therefore linking our poster to our trailer.
This is our final magazine front cover, After doing many trials and errors we finally got there and was happy with the end product as it looked more realistic then the first magazine draft.
The first image was what our magazine looked like at first. We decided to keep it simple yet bright so we used colours that contrasted with each other, but after getting our teacher to look at it she felt that it all needed to be changed as the image was not relevant at all and it did not link with our poster and trailer. so we then went out and took some more images of our villain and used him as the main image as he is featured on the poster quite a lot as well. Another way that we made all of our project link was by using the infamous chain which you can see dangling from his pocket. you can also see the pictures of our 'final girl' behind his head which also links to the iconic scene in our trailer.
This is the soundtrack that we used for our trailer, we thought that it had fitted perfectly with each scene in our trailer. We got the soundtrack off of 'Youtube' and it is called 'Grisly Reminder' by Midnight Syndicate <-- Click to listen!
The editing software that we used was called 'Sony Vegas Pro'. The editor of the group was 'Sahar' and she chose to use this software rather that 'Adobe Premier' as she was more familiar with it and was a frequent user on 'Sony Vegas'. This was a big advantage for the group because Sahar had the software installed on to her laptop allowing the rest of the group to edit, view the trailer and clips on the go no matter where we was, whereas if we used 'Adobe Premier' we would have had to be restricted in the media suite all day using the computers in the room as they were the only PC's to have that software installed.
