MY movie poster



I chose this poster because it was my own image.  I take photos quite a bit and when I looked through mine I seen this one I thought it looked perfect for a movie cover.  I wanted to be able to make something that was mine and not have to take a photo from google or etc.  I feel that the composure and the way the photo was taken worked well.  If this were a "real" movie, it would be about a younger guy becoming a music star.

The process: I started out by removing a few objects in the photo.  There was a bench and window corner that i took out.  I did this by using the clone stamp and patch tool.  I also added a couple objects, the headphones on his head and the microphone were added to the photo.  For the text, I just used a basic font and added some shadow to it.  And for the bottom text I just found a font I thought was most similar to other movie poster fonts.  As for the photo itself, I cut the guy's body and the back ground into two different layers.  In each layer I adjusted the curves to my liking.  I also dealt with the temp, contrast, vibrance, etc.  Finally, I added a blank layer on top, filled it with black, then erased it until I got the corners darkened to how I wanted them.
