Laptop photo edits for poster

Ive taken a few photos of an alarm clock and a laptop on a wooden table and found one image that i think i can get to work. As i said earlier I wanted to perhaps go for something from the film and try to use it similarly to what the posters for "The Eye" and "Saw" have done. Here is what I have acheived so far.

These are all in a lower quality to help with the upload, since they are not finished products.

This is the original image, i like it because its nice and clear and I can remove the background if i wish to at a later time, I am comfortable using photoshop to get my desired results so this is a nice starting point.

The next part was to remove the foreground, I did this then reduced the brightness to help emphasis the laptop in the forground, once I put this layer back ontop of my original image.





Once I place the previous layer back ontop of the original image, i added 2 effects, the first was i added noise to help bring a slight fuzz to the image, but it didnt acheive what i wanted, so i added a film grain and played around with the parameters untill I acheived this image. I did this because alot of horror images have this slightly grainy look, which helps with the slight eerieeness of the image.
