Ancillary : Film Poster

We just completed our first ancillary which was our film poster. This was teamwork carried out by me and my partner Andrew Jared Dean. We used Adobe Photoshop CS5 to make this poster. We had taken all the screenshots seperately and merged them into one using Photoshop. The bubbles shown below in the poster actually indicate that the characters were not real and they were actually from Kamran's nightmare. The bubbles were taken seperately from Microsoft Word and then edited to be put together in Photoshop. The other characters besides Kamran are put in cloud-like shapes to show that they were actually from Kamran's mind.



Kamran is also shown wearing the red tie that he actually wears in the film when he is ragged and told to dance. The tagline also gives some hints on the actual storyline of the film but does not give away any interesting parts so that the audience can enjoy the real film without getting to know the spoilers. The word "Nightmare" is used to give a hint of the storyline but we made sure that the poster is only as informative as we want it to.

We also used a specific font to write the credits of the poster to make it look like a real film poster.
