original movie poster design (diary of the dead)

This is my final piece

I decided to pick diary of the dead is my movie poster because I like the horror genre and the director George A. Romero set the standards of most modern day zombie based films and TV shows .

This is what I was going to originally uses my poster but I found the image to be to a bit to computer animated of the original movie poster design  it made the camera in the foreground stand out a lot.





Original background was from a game called Left 4 Dead, I've never played the game but originally chosen this photo because of their background scenery and on the fact that there was a zombie dead center in the photo so it make it easier when editing one into it

In the original movie poster use a flip screen camera but went along the lines of using a DLSR camera because it was hard to find a flip screen camera at the right angle for the photo I wanted to use
I came across this photo by typing name DSLR wallpapers for computers

 Like in the original movie poster the camera has a smashed screen so I decide to use this photo which is another wallpaper but this time for mobile phone.

this is something I have added on my own according to make the photo more unique, you normally see this on a smashed TV screen. I thought it would look cool on a DSLR camera screen as well.

This is the new background photo decide to use. I'd found it on my Tumblr news feed on the post-apocalyptic website.

The text and the five star rating I stole from one of the original movie posters because it was easier than me typing it up and finding information out online

I crop the camera and removed the photos from the background And the LED screen. Which took me about 45 minutes to do.

The crack in the LED screen took a lot longer because of how highly detailed it was.
I had to go in to find the details because I wanted to make it transparent but yet have to crack still visible.

I use the multi coloured cracked screen to emphasize that the screen is actually broken.

Then I added the background I wanted to use and fitted it perfectly and lined it up.
Then I duplicate the background layer crop it down to make a smaller photograph of the LED screen on the camera then moved it so it went into the eye of the camera.

T
hen I warp the original background image and add a filter layer between the writing and the background and camera.
Then I started to blend the camera so it would fit nicely and wouldn't stand out as much on the background layer.



 This is the similar movie poster that I was trying to recreate.
