Research & Planning - Photoshop Challenge

Here is my rough film poster for the classes Photoshop Challenge, the genre of my poster is Horror. I wanted to do horror because I thought I'd challenge myself in creating something scary and mysterious instead of designing something colourful and cheerful as I usually do for most of my work. I also wanted to face my fears as I hate watching scary films because they really scare me!

Using Google images I searched for an extreme close up of an eye with a tearful look. The eye I chose to use was very colourful and did not blend well with the horror theme, so I used Photoshop to dim the lighting slightly and change the eye colour to a darker shade.

I also found an image of a scary woman screaming in front of the camera, audiences would definitely find this photo frightening as the woman doesn't look normal, you can only see her head and nothing else.

Using Photoshop I placed the scary woman's head inside the pupil of the eye, this gives a mysterious and unusual effect, but this image will inform audiences that the eye is facing the head and we can see her face being reflected in the eye as the person is looking through a mirror, hence the title 'Through The Looking Glass'.
