This is my movie poster titled 'The Curse of the Shadow People'. I used a picture i took of a girl leaning on a fence, using the lasso tool I cut her out of the picture. I then found an image of a stone grave, i used the lasso tool to cut the grave out of the image and position the girl so it looked like she was leaning on the grave. I found an image of a large open grave yard, and set this as the back layer, to serve as my background. The tombstones in the image were very white so I used the burn tool to make them look darker and scarier and more fitting with the theme.
I found an image of a darkened outline of a person in a stereotypical 'zombie' way. The body shape is crooked and opresive, this was perfect to use as 'shadow people'. I copied the image a few times, and pasted several layers. I then transformed each one individually, using transform tools; skew, rotate, scale and flip vertical.
The writing is quite a sinister gothic font and almost faded like a 'shadow' to reflect the title.
The colours are quite dark and nuteral to reflect the theme of a 'shadow', apart fromn the red writing which reflects the colour of blood in a stereotypical horror movie poster way.
