Poster photo idea change!

Upon working on my original poster idea, I felt that it wasn't really working as well as I had hoped. I went back to the posters that I originally looked at felt that the best approach for me would be to take the simplistic look of "The Eye" and "Saw"



I went and took some more photos, this time they were of a knife that i had placed on some white paper, I covered the knife with some blood I created with icing sugar and red food colour then sprinkled some on the paper. This gave a really nice effect as if it was a knife from a horror scene, and the main weapon used in our trailer "Deadline" is a knife.

Here are a couple of the better photos

 
I placed the bloody knife on white paper as I thought it would make it easier to extract the image in Photoshop.

I used the photo to the right as it gave me the best image of the knife and the blood.











I then opened the file in Photoshop and erased all of the background. This gave me my perfect image that I could transfer over into Indesign and I could then start playing around with different versions of my Poster.
