The photo below is my film poster for my short film. I have included my short film title which is 'Down House'. I then included a tag line of "There's someone lurking in the shadows" which makes a reference to my short film, I intend for this to intrigue the audience as they will want to know what is lurking in the shadows. My film eventually reveals what is lurking in the shadows, therefore this tag line applies well to my film, especially by setting the tone. I then added 'Housework productions' to make it more realistic and like a film in the real world. I also include who directed the film, who stars in the film and who edited the film. This provides the audience with more information about the film. Finally, the original image I have used is a photo of a dead pheasant. This reflects well to my short film because the setting I have chosen is set in on remote country moorland. Pheasants are common in these country areas. Also the idea of death is key to my short film. The dead pheasant may foreshadow whats to come in the short film. Again reinforcing the audience to become intrigued. The original image was edited on Photoshop by adjusting brightness and contrast to make it appear darker and eerie and to highlight the colors in the pheasants feathers making them look a richer color. By making the image darker I think it gives the audience an idea that my film is quite sinister, it creates quite an ambiguous idea of how the film may develop and end. I also used Photoshop to impose my two main characters faces into the wings of the pheasants. This gives the poster a personal touch to my film without being two obvious. Th subtlety of the faces means the photo is still simple and not over crowded. However, I may have made the faces a little more obvious and clear. Overall, I am happy with my short film poster and reflects my short film well.
