Creating the film poster

For the film poster, my idea was to use the collage of pictures which the stalker, Ben, has of the girls. I decided that the entire poster should be full of the pictures. This looks similar to posters for romantic films such as Love Actually and (500) days of Summer. I thought that this would give it an ironic feel because the characters aren't in love, they are being stalked.


For the title of the film, I attempted to make it look slightly like the titles are pinned on so that it fits in with the rest of the poster. I think that this worked well.



Using the 'burn' and 'dodge' tool, I created shadows and darkness on the poster to show that it was a horror film. I also changed the contrast so that it looked odd. This is used in many horror film posters and films as it makes the colours look more defined.

In order to make sure that the film poster fit the genre, I created and added a blood effect. I think that this made the poster look more authentic and made it look like it was for a horror film.





This is the final poster, this includes all the necessary aspects of a film poster such as the age certificates, the Title and the credits.
