Original pictures used for the creation on my ancillary tasks

I used this picture for my promotional poster, because I have my head slightly down looking through my hair, which I think creates a secretive, darker effect. I cut it out from the background, using tools on Photoshop, placed it in the centre screen over my background and decreased the opacity of the picture, to make it appear ghost like.  I also made the photo darker to fit in with the overall effect of my poster, presenting the horror genre. I think this was effective because, the picture represents the topic film of that issue, making it significant and therefore should stand out, while still remaining to present the correct genre, and I think my focus photo achieves this.

This is the picture that I used for the background to my promotional poster. I used this because a woodland represents isolation within the horror genre and creates an eerie, creepy effect. We used clips of the woodland in our trailer as well, which connects this picture to our finished product. For my poster, I made this photo alot darker as it makes it look more scary. It also suggests night time, making the trees look like shadows, which links back to the horror genre as darkness is often used to symbolise danger. I think this looks effective combined with my focus photo as they work well together to recreate my genre and my trailer/film.

I chose this picture to be my main picture on my magazine cover as I thought that it could show the actress while still showing the darker side represented by the character. I cut this picture out from the plain background, enlarged it and slightly changed the colouring to create a lighter look, attracting more attention from the audience. I mirrored the image as I thought that it would fit better once positioned on the right side of the magazine, so only just over half of the image is present. I done this because it allows the image to be the main attention but doesn't overcrowd the page, allowing space for other featuring elements.











This image in our trailer sets up the main plot line, as  this  picture represents the murderers death due to the possession of the necklace. I used this within my film roll on my magazine, which consists of three images, to give the audience sneek peeks of what the movie is about. This is a close up image of a hand with some blood and holding the main prop of the trailer. I think that this image is key to the progression of the plot as it is the foundation for the rest of the plot. I didn't change any effects on this photo as all of the effects I would want are already present within the picture, such as darkness and close ups.

This image is the second image in my film roll on my magazine cover. I used this because it shows the fustration of the protagonist when she is trying to discover what is happening to her. I think that this image is significant as it presents the progaonist in an un-usual situation where the audience are going to be curious to what she is going through. I didn't change anything in this I didn't think it was important as the image is only small and there to spark interest in the audience.

I used this picture in my film roll as it is a close up on the murderers face. He was wearing white make-up which makes the picture look more realistic and meant that I didn't have to add any additional effects to the picture. I think that this picture is significant as it shows the effect of the necklace and the danger that it represents, setting up the plot line and also to hopefully spark some curiousity within the audience.
