This is the photo we plan to use for our film poster. We chose this photo because we believe it sums up and signifies the genre horror and also gives the audience an insight to what our film may be about for example; setting as the photo is shot in a forest same place to where the film is shot.

When designing our film poster we came up with the idea inspired from photo booths 'tunnel' effect to have  Beth's face in the middle of the poster then her surroundings blurred so all the audiences attention would be focusing on her.

We first attempted to create this effect using photoshop and the blur tool as you can see. However we had difficulties creating the correct effect we wanted because of our lack of knowledge in photoshop.

One of the students in our class told myself and Ciara about a new media technology website called 'picnik' created to make editing photos easier. The website unlike photoshop was very simple and straight forward to with instructions step by step telling how to edit your chosen picture. It also allowed you to edit the contrast, opactity, colour, size etc of your uploaded photo.

 Here is our photo after editing using picnic as you can see we applied a blur effect to the outside of

We then uploaded the picture onto photoshop so we could add the credits and release date. We decided to use the colour white because it standed out the most against our background picture. We also decided to make the release date bold so it would stand out and catch the audiences eye.

We looked on photoshop however we couldn't find an appropriate text so using another new media website called 'dafont.com' we downloaded a free font called '28 days later' and installed it on to photoshop to use for our film poster.
