Research & Planning: Decided Photograph For The Poster

Original Picture

Edited version.
As I don't have accsess to photo shop at home I decided to use 'picnik' website to attempt to edit the chosen picture. By uploading the photograph I then changed the brightness and contrast, as the colour balance to give it that dark green colour that represents the after dark effect. I am now going to edit it a little more when in class by darkening the bottom of the photograph so the title and distribution logos can lay.

Research & Planning: Editing The News Footage

The background on photoshop.

The original footage: the green screen.

After the process of green screen.
Today I edited the studio version of the news footage. I designed the background and the logo and writing on a Photoshop document, then saved them as a JPEG file. I then placed the footage onto the teaser trailer where I then copied the JPEG onto the footage that gave me an option to 'green screen' the material. Once that had completed I trimed the footage, also seeded it up so that it wouldn't last too long.

Research & Planning: Distribution Logo

Here we have the distribution logo 'Darkhill Entertainment'  were we was influenced by other distributions. At first we had it a dark cold blue, however decided to change this to a dark woodland brown as we thought it would link nicely to the articles and the tone of the horror and location as to the scarecrow. I used photoshop to complete this and for the shape added a glow and also a back light however decreased the opacity so it wasn't too obvious.

Edit 1
Edit 2.
Final One.

Research & Planning: 'Myth Of Scarecrow' article

This is a final version of the article that were going to add into the trailer.
