Horror font

This type font looks like something that should be used as a title on a scary movie. The font is scary and looks as if it has been hand written. I would think that this type of font would be used on a horror film based on films with young people. For example, it reminds me of the film 'Orphan', and 'The Sixth Sense'. Both films include a young main character with a plot thats strange or disturbing. 

Romance font

I chose to use this font as had a 'romantic' feel to it. This type font uses flicks and swirls to make it look girly and romantic. A love heart replaces the 'O' in the word 'Romance', which is why i think it looks like a romantic font. I would use this font for the title on theatrical posters or a dvd cover for either Rom coms or a film about an emotional love story. This font best suits the film 'The Notebook'. This is because the film is an emotional love story, and the word 'notebook' reminds me of a diary, and this font looks hand written which is why i think it best suits the film.

Sci Fi font

This font suggests a genre of sci-fi or futuristic film because the font is used in films such as: 'Star Trek', 'Star Wars', and 'Alien'. These films are all based in the future or have a plots that are science fictional. The font itself is very bold, square and straight, and not like other fonts. This font is only ever used in sic-fi based films, and you never really see them anywhere else.

Action Font

This font shows it suits the genre of action as very bold and looks scratched. I would best relate this font to the film 'THE EXPENDABLES' which is an action film. The 

Historical Drama Font

We created our own film posters to look like 'THE EXPENDABLES'. 

We used a green screen to take pictures of everyone individually. We had to look serious or hold a prop so in the final picture it will fit the genre of what the film is. We used a green screen because in Photoshop it easier to remove the background than other colours or backgrounds. We could use other colours like white or blue but green is the best colour to use.

After this we uploaded them into photoshop and cut out the green screen so we were left with the person. i used a tool called 'magnectic lasso tool' to remove the background. i then dragged each person into the final image. All the pictures were then scaled to a certain size to look right on the film poster. 

I used a number of different effects to create this film poster as it had to look like it was the real thing. I used an orange tint to make it look more like an action poster and a black effect at the bottom of the poster to blur out the bottom half of the people. 

I googled the background by simply typing in 'war-zone background'. I found one that looked like it was in a battle zone and made the poster look very effective. The film poster looked better with the effect on. I googled the font for the title off a website called 'dafont'. I found a font called capture it which i used to make the title 'The Expendables' look like a war type font, which gives the impression that the genre of the film is mainly about action and war.               

To make the film poster look realistic, we had to get a film company logo and an age certificate. I chose to use 'universal' and 'warner brothers' and the bbfc to be a 15. All three of the images had a white background so i had to remove this from the image. By doing this i used a tool called the 'magnetic lasso tool'. I went round the image and deleted the background then dragged into the final poster. Without the white background, each image looks effective and professional.
