NEXT-GEN Nescot Year 3 HND - Development of a Poster

During week 1 we had been tasked with creating a professional movie poster using a split face dynamic based around a horror theme. After creating a 3D model of my face mixed with the monster face, I began to create ideas and backgrounds for my final poster.

For my first poster idea, I created a silhouette of my body coupled with the 3D model, a light fixture in the background and credits to go along with it. I got the background from the Internet and it worked very well with the design, but I didn't think the silhouette appearance was particularly good and the background wouldn't have fitted with another style.


Once I had created the initial poster, I decided to get my own background and went to explore for any backgrounds that I could use. Eventually I found an image I had taken from Pembroke castle (in Wales) when I had visited earlier in the year and decided that it was the perfect fit.


Next, I took the image of the hallway and added the 3D model to it alongside the credits and some additional shading to make some parts of the image darker. Unfortunately, I thought that the expression of the model wasn't particularly good and contemplated changing it.


Because of this, I decided to tilt the head forward to give the effect of the face sinisterly looking up. Also, I added more shading using the exposure tool and attempted to create a more creepy atmosphere.


In conclusion, I believe that I did well because of the detail and appearance of the model, a highly detailed image, in front of a dark and gloomy atmosphere. The two effects work well together. However, if I could change anything I would add more light exposure to the human half of the face in order to give more attention to it.
