Finished Motion Poster

Here is my fished poster...

To achieve the zombie look I grey brushes, the burn tool (a lot) and textures that I overlaid on the face and used blending modes like overlay and soft light. I used the burn tool to darken and dirty up the face. For the text I used a scratched metal texture and I also added a shadow to the figure using a black soft brush and lowering the opacity of the layer.

Here is the LINK to my finished motion poster. I split the image into a foreground image and a background image. Between them I added a rainfall effect in after effects. 

Motion Poster

The dark knight rises motion poster has a foreground (batman), a background (the bat symbol) and a layer inbetween that is animated. This creates a 3D look.

The foreground of my poster will be a zombie, the background will this image ---->

I want it to be darker at the bottom where the title 'RUN & HIDE' will be in white thick text with scratchy and blemished textures over it

here are some of my ideas...

Horror Photography

Kayleigh Ball has used a slow shutter speed to get a long exposure. This creates the scary look

there are a lot of different images over laid on this poster. there is a spooky sky, the derelict london city scape and the zombies and trapped people. the text and logo are scratched and messy like the surroundings 

this poster uses a spooky wood setting and back lit to create an outline of the figure 

The scream poster uses the chin of the mask as a knife which is the murder weapon in the film. the text also has a knife like M

the combination of the eye and the fingers adds a creepy look

This poster use a dark surrounding to create a spooky face. the focus is on the eyes as they are wide and bright

Photoshop Berfore/After

Berfore

Photoshop skills filters

i added a warming filter at 25% to raise the tempter of the image, this was to over powering so i decreased the layers opacity to 30% this gave a more subtle effect

Photoshop skills colour

I used the master curses to even out all the colours then i made alterations to the red and blue curves individually to get better results

Photoshop skills contrast

here i have duplicated the original layer and set the blend mode to soft light to increase the contrast of the image. to tone it down i have lowered the opacity to 23%

Carnival Stills

These are two of the better stills I took of the carnival.

I used a small f-stop (f/5.0 0r f/5.6) to get a good depth of field.
