Poster Update!

i havent posted much about my work with Posters so heres an update. When we filmed the main section of the film I took several shots on the site to convert into a suitable poster. Of the ones I took, these two were the best.

Originally I had intended to mimic the Lost promotions, but with a few twists (like having a random person in the background ) The more zoomed out shot several problems that I needed to sort out. Firstly the sky and backdrop werent dramatic enough. This proved to be a major issue as in importing a darker sky the trees looked out of place as did the people due to the lighting. I increased the contrast, whilst repeatedly working over highlights with the burn / dodge tool to make the characters stand out. Initially I was concerned that the lighting on their faces was too dark but after looking at lost promo's, they lit faces in a similar manner

This is the second template for a possible poster. In this I went for a completely different look that focused more on the characters and used rigid division to increase this empathsis. In this poster, like the last I used the Burn and dodge tools to increase the contrast levels.

I also trialed some ideas for credits but as i havent looked at any posters, it doesnt look quite right yet. However what im going to do is look at some posters to get some ideas before i finish and pick which is the right template.
