When Harry and Joey conquered the world

Hello there,

Throughout my BTEC course on Creative Media, I was given the task of creating my own movie poster.

I created my movie poster on Photo Shop. This took me a couple of days to create this movie poster as I had to think about who I thought who looked good for the part of Harry and Joey, once I picked who could play these characters I had to use the green screen and put them into a suitable position. Before I picked what position I wanted to put them in I looked at other posters that I thought would be similar to my movie poster.

Once I had my pictures taken I uploaded them onto Photo Shop, before editing and putting any of the background and text onto my movie poster I needed to take away the green that was from the green screen so it was a blank background I did this by using Color Range, you will find this tool under Filter. Then I needed to decide how big I wanted my characters to I brought more of an affect to people who maybe look at it, this is to make people want to watch your film.

When I finished positioning and arranging the height of my characters I needed to put a background in. I found my cloud effect background on Google images. I knew that I wanted something to to involve the world with my background as the name of my movie poster is 'When Harry and Joey conquered the world' When I looked on Google to similar kind of movie posters, I then decided that I wanted the background to be the sky, this is to create the metaphor of Harry and Joey being at the top of the world. To make the picture of the girl character look like to was floating on a cloud in the sky, I needed to put a white cloud effect around her, I found this effect on Photo Shop.

When I finished editing the characters and the background, I need to put text on the poster. As Photo Shop didn't have the font that I needed, I went onto a website called Dafont. Once I found the font that I thought suited the poster the most, I needed to Install this font so I could use it on Photo Shop. I installed two different kind of font from Dafont, these fonts were called BrushGrunge and Infected. I used the shadow effect on both kinds of fonts to make it look like the text is coming out of the poster.
In the word 'World' I replaced the letter 'O' with a picture of the world, I find this picture of Google images. I did this to create a metaphor for Harry and Joey conquering the world.

I hope you enoyed reading my blog and come back again.
love from Sophie :)

My Movie Poster Proposal


Working title
The working title that I will be using for my movie poster will be When “Harry and Joey Concurred the world” When Harry and Joey have gone out and concurred the world; they find the Third character Sally who tries to stop their plans.

Summary of the content
I am planning to create a comedy movie poster on Photo Shop. This movie poster will include three main characters called Sally, Harry and Joey. The kind of colour theme that I will be going with when creating my movie poster on Photo Shop will be white and red, this is to create warmth in the poster with Harry and Joey’s dominance, to create tension with the audience.

Intended audience
My intended audience that I will be creating my movie poster for would be people with the age between 15-25. The kind of audience that I will want for my movie poster would be people who love a good bromance. I would say that both female and male would be focused on when making my movie poster. I will be using adult’s humor when creating my tagline, which will make the audience want to see the film.

Medium to be used
The medium for this movie poster will be Harry and John on top of a picture of the world, with Sally sat on a comfy chair with a Red Destroy button in her hands. The big Red Destroy button will tell the audience that Sally is there as the enemy.

Indication of the style
The indicated style for my movie poster will be the title When Harry and Joey concurred the world is in big bold dark red in Avenir Black text. I will have the names of the main characters at the top of the poster in the same text as the working title. The background of my movie poster will be black, with a picture of the world in the center. I will have the characters Harry and Joey stood on top of the world to show that they are superior and there is no messing with them. I will have the character sat in a comfy chair with a red destroy button in her hand, I will make Sally smaller than Harry and Joey.

Length or size of the product
The length and size that I am going to make my movie poster will be large as I am making my characters big to show that they are in charge now.

Analysing Movie Posters





The Expendables Movie moster

Hey,
I'm writing to tell you about how I made my own movie poster on The Expendables.
How I created my movie poster was by using PhotoShop. We used the green screen and accessories to take pictures of everyone in my media group. By using PhotoShop we were able to take each picture of everyone and remove the background of the green screen by using the Select and then Color Range tool.
After I chosen the people that I wanted to be in my movie poster and created three different layers for each person I saved a picture from the internet of an explosion.
I also used the internet to find the title The Expendables. I had to do the same thing that I did with the pictures of people.
I found everything else that has been put onto my movie poster on my Creative Media Hand Out. 
The I used the Text tool to tell the audience the three mains stars that are in my movie poster.

Thank you for reading my blog.

PhotoShop poster

Hey,
I am writing today to show you what I did in my creative media class, using PhotoShop and the Green screen.
When creating my poster I saved a picture of Sirius Black who was in the Harry Potter films on my documents, then opened it up on PhotoShop.
When I finally found what poster i wanted to stick my face on, i used the Green screen to take a picture of myself with the correct lighting. we had to make sure that the lighting on the picture of me was the same lighting that you would see on the actual poster.
Then I used PhotoShop to cut my head onto the poster, I had to use two layer for this. when I measured my head to the right size, I had to take a copy of the colour that was used on the poster to make my face the same colour, to make it look professional.

Thank you for reading my Blog.

Photoshopping a person

This is a picture that i have PhotoShopped. this picture looks face as i have used the graphics Healing Brush, this was to take away all of the spots that she had on her face. Then I used the Blur Smart effect, this was to make the face a lot smoother, and get rid of the oily look on her face, this was the thing that made this person look fake. After that i used the rubber to erase the blurred effect on the background and on the hair, after i did that i made the rubber a lot smaller so that i can create the features on her face more natural.

This is what the person looked before I used PhotShop on her. this proves that celebrities do NOT look like this in real life, and that they have all been PhotoShopped before we see the image. 
We are not all perfect like the celebrities in the magazine that have been made this way on purpose, do NOT be tricked by what you see.

Hope you enjoy my Blog, i will be back soon.
