Using photoshop to create thriller posters

In this lesson, we had the task of going around the school in groups and taking pictures of each other in scary situations. We then had to return to the computer room and use our photoshop skills to edit our favourite picture into a thriller poster advertising a new film. I chose to edit a photograph taken of me on a bench. In the foreground were leaves and twigs, as if someone was looking at the hooded figure (me) on the bench (as seen below).

I played around with the controls, editing the colour of the photo to make it seem more eerie. I then used the text tool on photoshop to add in a title for the film. I had to play around with various colours in order to choose one which was legible against the dark background, I also tried different fonts and sizes of the text to find the one most suited to the thriller genre.
