Poster Photography Process

When taking my poster photos, I chose to shoot outside of the house of one of my actors, so that I could have an architectural background without worrying about any legal ramifications. I made sure to film this early in my shooting day, so that we had a large amount of light and that all of the details of the scene were visible, and that the brightness could more easily be altered later and that different effects could be added. I made sure to take multiple shots, so that the best one could be easily selected for the final poster. Finally, due to the dolly angle I chose not to use a tripod for the shot, instead opting to use a freehand camera person, who could decide on the best angle for my intended shot. I created my poster using Affinity Photo, which allowed me to combine multiple assets and apply effects until I reached. the mood and atmosphere I was looking for, specifically by contrasting the dark background with the brightness from the magnifying glass, which I wanted to use to symbolise finding the truth and illuminating the mystery. When exporting, I created both a high quality PDF version which would be used for print, as well as a lower quality JPEG version, which could be spread online.
