Titles for the Poster

I started off writing out the title, then began adding the same red outer glow as the titles in the trailer. I put the title on the poster but felt that it looked rather bland so then I decided to add a gradient as that would add some depth and definition to the title when on the poster, against the picture.

I also tested out inner glows as previously I only added an outer glow. I tried out different colours including white, black, red, pink.
I decided that red was the best colour for the inner glow because it softened the sharp white lines of the letters. It also emphasized the red outer glow, resulting in the title looks very vibrant and eye-catching - ideal for a poster.
I typed out the slogan: 'NOTHING CAN SAVE YOUR SOUL' and put the words in a listing appearance so that I could put it by the demon's face in the picture. I inserted a white outer glow to distinguish it from the red title.
Then, I added the date 'October 31' because that is Halloween and would therefore be an appropriate date to release this film. Also, a lot of horror blockbuster films are usually released on Halloween as well. I did the same as the other titles; added an outer glow - in this case I made it red to fit in with the title. However, this time I decided to made the colour the letters black, to make it visible against the Demon's white shirt.
I downloaded the movie titles font - called Steel Tongs - then began inserting the same names from the end of the trailer. However, after deconstructing the movie titles on existing posters, I chose the roles that are conventionally seen on posters, and so some of the names on the trailer are not on the poster titles.



I put the titles on the poster, however it was too big so I clicked on Image on the grey ribbon at the top, then changed the Image Size to make it smaller.







I made a list of sins for the poster and changed the outer glow so instead of it being around the letters, it smudges out and connects all the words together. At first I had put the list of sins horizontally to put above the movie titles at the bottom, and then the slogan vertically like a list. However, after making these, I decided to swap the designs and put the list at the side as it signifies more of the plot to the audience in the poster.
