16th March 2018 - Editing the Poster

Introduction

On this page i will go through how i created my poster and why.

I knew that my poster will have to feature the narrative of my music video in the best possible appealing way. I came up with some ideas like have a photo of the wall covered in pieces of paper with the album name written on a piece of paper and the track-list and the artist, although i didn't think that it looked appealing, i also considered a photo from the view of Castle Hill although all the shots i had did not look too professional and made the poster look rushed, as well as some were blurry.

I decided that i wanted a mixture of both. I plastered pieces of paper with problems written on around a door just like in my music video and with the track list written on the pieces to the right of the door, i then held a green screen within the doorway so that i could edit the other side of the door out. Although the track-list was lost will all the other writing on the paper, I then turned each piece of paper around so that it was plain and then reshot it. The result looked great, although the track-list did not look professional enough, at that point i decided to drop the track list and just use what i had created. I then took the photo on to Photoshop and edited out the green screen, increased the brightness and added a photo i had taken on the first shoot day outside behind it. So finally it looked pretty successful representing the music video with the character being in the room and wanting to go outside through the door.

I then further added the Peter Gabriel's name and the record label. I then also added some review stars to make it look legitimate as a final touch.
