Creating my poster - second step

 

 

 

For the second step of creating my poster I added bloody hands to increase the knowledge to the audience that the trailer was of a horror genre. I took a close up image of the bloody hands that were created using fake blood, the reason I only took a picture of the hands and not the arms or face of the actress was because I wanted to keep the person hidden so it left the audience in suspense of who that character was and why they had blood on their hands, therefore not exposing them like the title of the film is called. The colour of the blood in the original image was dull and blended in too much with the background not making is stand out enough so using the software of Photoshop I contrasted the image and gave it a lighter colour effect making the blood more vibrant and the hands look more pale giving the audience the idea that the person with blood on their hands may be dead if the circulation in the hands has gone. The reason behind the hands being in a raised position when I took the image was because I wanted the audience to feel involved when looking at the poster and because they cant see the face and the hands are facing them they may put themselves in that characters shoes and question what the film EXPOSURE is really about.
