Film Poster Photoshoot Update

Shot showing Jordan pre-shoot
In order to complete our film poster for my design, we needed some original images to edit onto the poster. This included a shot of Jordan with his back facing the camera, with him looking menacingly over his shoulder. Firstly, we were careful to ensure continuity between the film and the poster so we asked Jordan to wear the costume he wears throughout the piece for the shoot (see the above shot). We also decided that lighting should be used effectively in the shot, with low key lighting casting a sinister shadow on the back of Jordan short and masking his facial expression.

This is the final shot of Jordan. As you can see, we made sure that the idea of violence is present through the use of blood on the shirt. However, I would prefer the blood to be more prominent in the image so I will ask Stephen if there are any possible effects on Photoshop to achieve this.


However, we had difficulty capturing the image of the broken glass. We did manage to produce a passable image - however, we'd like to try a photoshoot again to ensure the image is to a high standard.

  1. good - we discussed the problems with your poster on Thursday. I am a little concerned over the glass on the table and really think you will be much better re shooting the entire shot on site so to speak. You can still use Photoshop, but you really need very good PS skills to superimpose imagery.
