This was our first attempt at the channel 4 poster page that we would use to advertise our documentary before it aired on channel 4. After much research, we chose channel 4 for the fact they host documentaries like ours regularly, and ti would be the best channel to address our demographic and reach out to our chosen target audience. The overall feedback we received about this was that it was very good, and looked extremely professional, but th image we had used has not been distorted or tampered with in any way. if we were to improve it, we need to make the image look different, so that could be tampering with the lighting, or making things stand out with a defined outline.
This is a typical vignette effect that we would put onto our poster. Like mentioned, it would add some much needed focus to what is actually happening in the photo. This focuses on what the picture portrays and this is what all channel 4 poster really have in them. This process is simple to do in photoshop, so distorting the image to get these extra marks and to make it look more professional is a simple task. |
The idea we had to make it the best it could possibly be would be to put a vignette effect on it. If it worked right, then all around the hands and the wrists, which are ties up, the picture would be a lot darker making the main message of the poster stand out compared the the surrounding settings. the surrounding setting are not needed in the clip, but obviously, they are part of the image, so we thought the best way to get rid of them is to just black them out.
With the simple task of distorting the image slightly, it will increase the mark to that which we can get no higher. We have got the text right, the logo in the right place, and the image that fits the narrative, just need to edit the image slightly and then the poster will look good enough to air on channel 4.
