To make my film poster i did some research to find influences for my poster and find what typical content was on them. I used many skills to produce my poster i had to uses my photography to get a perfect picture for the poster, we used cardboard scenery. I used a cardboard house with lights on and small man in front of the house with a light shinning on him which worked really well as looked like i had used i lens filter on my work. I used torches for lighting, we used 3 point lighting effect e.g. car lights, the moon and inside the house etc. Once i had taken my perfect picture i had to edit it so that it would fit the horror genre better. On photoshop i used different layer for my picture and writing. To change the effect on my picture i used the tool photocopier to create a stamp effect over my picture. I change the colour and saturation.
