This is a poster I have made during, studying the horror genre, it began with us making a small set from cardboard, and shooting using basic 3 point lighting and specials.

after this the images were imported into Photoshop, the skills I used include:

Creating the models out of cardboard, painting the models, placing the lighting in the most effective positions, taking the photographs that I need, and then importing the images into the computer, and choosing the most effective image that I thought would work best.
Synopsis for poster
The movie involves a killer that is back from the dead, and didn't have many friends, and people used to be really horrible to him when he was alive, so he decided to hang himself, although one night the weather was really bad and this triggered from a tree and hit his gravestone, making him born again. the killers motive is to get everybody back who got him, and make them suffer for what they did.

the killer manages to go into hiding after every murder, therefore making it VERY difficult to be caught, and as the chase goes on, the killer decides to kill a police officers daughter, this leads to the police force becoming in desperate need to find out whos doing this.

clues are left by the killer every time he kills, but nobody links on, thus leaving the killer still out there, waiting to kill again.

Title of film : The Hanging.

Tagline: "Its not the dead that harm you, its the living."

here is the original image:

Here is evidence of the set which we used to create the images. the image i used was then placed into the eye on the poster above.

Some of the parts are more boring than others, but it wont be time wasted!

So what exactly is distribution and how is it used? Well if films didn’t have distributors then none of us would even have a clue about the latest film that comes out, imagine that, not even having a clue about films, they would be made and then we wouldn’t have a clue about them, I’m surprised they don’t have a donation service for the hard grafting that they do in distributing the films.
Distributors have to make films reach even the trickiest of audiences, so next time you are whining that you don’t like a film, get over it and find another one! No, only joking, maybe it hasn’t been distributed aswell as another film that would tickle your pickle.

Did you know that most films don’t actually make the full amount back that it costs to make the film just by putting it in the cinemas, that’s right! The majority of films make the money back on the merchandise, for example, high school musical, you boys may think its just a stupid film that’s full of crappy singing, but in reality the film company doesn’t care that it doesn’t appeal to the majority of boys, they make more than enough money back on the merchandise that is sold, to entertain fans!

Distributors use junkits, no I didn’t say drumkits. A Junkit, is when press are sent in to the film company, and this is when they find everything they can about the film, in order for the film to be advertised to you, so it entices you in to wanting to watch it.
How many times do you complain whenever adverts come on the tv, or theres adverts in a magazine? Well DON’T! if there wasn’t adverts, you wouldn’t know about anything and you would become dumb and there would be no point to you. Just kidding, but they are damn important to life!
