As well as focusing my planning on the previous picture, I have chosen to also test out other pictures, which I believe could become an effective poster for a horror/thriller film. I feel this picture would be good as it clearly shows the character of the film, but also shows his emotions, which appear to be scared and worried, which are two main emotions associated with horror/thriller films. The fact these are clearly shown makes it easier for the viewer of the poster to see them, and quickly identify what genre the film it.
In order to get this picture up to the level I wanted, I pretty much used the same techniques as with the first picture. I made a duplicate of the original picture and used Microsoft Picture Manager to edit the colour balance and the brightness of the picture. At this point, I made the duplicate very dark, so that it could be used as the dark surrounding of the character on the picture.
I then used Adobe Photoshop to layer the two pictures on top of one another, with the dark being on the top, and then I used the eraser tool to wipe away parts of the darker version of the picture I didn't want. This then left me with the underneath picture peering though the top one, resulting in the dark room with a spot light effect, which is exactly what I was aiming for.
After completing this part of the editing, I simply saved the picture and opened it in Microsoft Office Powerpoint to add on the text for the title, as I did with the previous picture.
