Like the magazine cover the program we used was Adobe Photoshop to create the poster. We chose to use this photograph as there was enough space to fit in all the information we needed to and Chloe's facial expression is really good and is what we aimed for when taking all the photographs. Also the way she is sitting and the view point makes he look weaker andwith the way she is looking up at the camera will make it clear that she looks wary and afraid. We then edited the photograph by inreasing the contrast to add definition and reduced the saturation to make Chloe look paler. This photograph is the first layer and then for the second layer we used this texture which I found on www.deviantart.com in the research and stock images section. I chose this texture because of the scratches, it gives the feeling of being trapped and also in theme with the horror, thriller genre.
We then pasted this on top of the photograph and changed the opacity which let the photograph to be shown through the texture which is shown in the picture. After this we then added the text. Like the Gothika poster we placed Chloe's name at the top, with her name standing out itsuggests that she is a well known actress, we also put 'also featuring Mark Talor' by the title. It is good to mention the main actors/actresses because if they are known to the audience then they are more likely to view the film. 'No Escape' is also in 'Chiller' font as is the trailer and the magazine cover to create a well known brand. We also put in 'She though it was over' as a quote. This was also used in the trailer so it is a well known catchphrase for the film. Like the magazine we also added the glowing effect on the title of the film and also the quote by painting a white line behind the text and then changing the opacity to give a ghost like, faded effect. The picture below shows the completed poster.
