Movie Poster Promo


In our new project we are to make a movie trailer and for that we have to include a poster. The poster i'm gonna create is gonna have the main character Violet hiding behind a tree while her other friends Gretchen, Jasmine, and Katey are seeking for her. This poster is supposed to show my audience that will watch the trailer to think that the main character is probably the one hiding and that something is wrong with her or that she's missing and her other friends are looking for her. Most of the trailer takes place at their friends house Gretchen. They all are having a sleepover and catching up on the latest. In the meantime, the main character is thought to be seen by Gretchen one of the characters.


The title of our movie is called " The Missing ". Each person working on the movie trailer has to make there own movie poster. We get to see who turned out to be the best and we will use that in the beginning of our trailer. On my poster I have a background image of the main character violet. One of her eyes is looking straight forward. Im hoping this will show my audience that the Violet is not normal the way that i'm designing her eye in photoshop. My title is gonna be warped into a photoshop effect giving the poster a little more texture, and weirdness. Something else we have to use in our poster is kerning. Kerning is when is when you adjust the spacing between the text and proportion it differently. This also gives your audience a pleasing result.

Our posters must involve a title that catches our audiences eyes so that they'll have to read it because it pops out so much. The title must need kerning, layer effects so its not boring. With layer effects you can give your title shadows, textures, embosses, etc. You are also supposed to take a picture or have some drawing of maybe a scene that gives an idea of what the movie will be like and add it to your background for your title. This just will give a glimpse of whats going on. On my title I used almost all of the effects to make it seeable.

Proactive or Procrastination?


After a long week of school I like to finish all of my homework right after school. The feeling of having all of my work done is relieving. There is no need for stress or being guilty while having a fun weekend. I learned from my mistakes last year because coming to class with no work done is not fun! I failed my teacher, my parents, and especially me. Knowing that I had time to finish it but was ignoring it till last minute was a bad habit. This year I have set a goal to get it done asap!


Being in a quiet, calm, steady environment helps me focus while doing home work and I get it done faster which gives me more time to have a fun weekend. Life is not about always Procrastinating and parting its about also being successful and a hard worker. If you dont get anything done in life then you will regret it later on in life and wish to live a fulfilled life.


Theres not that much I would change about my work habits because I get things done before theres time to enjoy my weekend. I had to change my work habits last year because I procrastinated a lot. Finally I set a goal to get everything done without wasting time. When i'm older I hope to have a successful job that will support me financially. In order to have a job like that you need to get everything done and set a good habit so people can count one you.
