Movie Poster Promo


Hello everyone! Today I am writing about our new project, Movie Posters! We will also be creating a trailer to go along with it. The main characters you see in our film and poster (My team consists of Arianna White, Kasiah Vercelli, and Talia Washington) are Rebecca, the rich and beautiful society dame, the detective Thalia, otherwise known as the best friend, the detective's assistant, and of course, the Thief! The robber, played by Arianna, breaks into Rebecca's home, then steals her precious ring, which just happens to hold the key to her bank account. Then Rebecca and the detective must find the ring before Rebecca's fortune is stolen. There is a great surprise in the end, a little bit of humor and drama.

The character in my poster is Rebecca- well, part of her. You will see her hand, positioned exactly as it was when she fell, after being knocked out, right before the robber takes it off her hand, cold and still against the rich colors of the rug. You see the chicken, draped around her hand, freshly dropped by the thief. The jewel of the poster, (pun intended) is the ring. It sits nobly on her hand, gleaming purple. I really tried for contrast. The gleam of the purple against the neutrals of her skin and the chicken look really cool.

Our title is the Great Chicken Heist because it is about a lady getting hit in the head with a chicken, then robbed. Some other text on my poster include reviews from Mystery Magazine, SpotlightMovies.com, and other fake reviews. There is also the actors and production studios. Getting all that to fit on the page and look good was hard. So to make it look amazing, we use a technique called kerning. Kerning adjusts the space between letters in a word or sentence.Want some first hand experience? Check it out!

The overall impact of my layer effects and filters have is actually rather subtle. I tried to use layer effects to make the eye travel to the ring. I also used a slight color change, I made it a little more red, because I wanted to add drama, and romanticize the scene. I also blurred out part of the rug, using a radial blur. I feel that that helped put all the focus on her hand, the chicken, and the ring. Anyway thats all, I hope you enjoy my movie poster, and when it comes out, (probably after break) my Movie Trailer. Bye!
