Aucillary poster: First draft

 

This is the first draft of our ancillary piece. As you can see from the ancillary piece we tried to make it look like the template of the Bourne Legacy poster. We want to create an affect where things are fragmented to represent our storyline which is our inspiration behind why we have followed this templete.Overall there are some improvements to be made such as color blending and increasing the size of the text around the poster but overall we felt this was a decent first attempt. 

Aucillary poster: Picture we used as a cover

This is the still that we are using for the ancillary poster. The reason why we are using this picture is to play wuth the conventions of the character. Here (Sophia) looks sort of innocent but at the same time has the posture of someone powerful and in control, this will play with the mind of audiences as it will be hard to distinguish her personality allowing the twist within our film to become more effective.

Aucillary poster: Blending and blurring

We decided to blur the image a lot more than the orginal image for the purpose of making Sophia more in focus in our poster. We did this as she was the main vocal point in our poster and we had to make sure that she stands out in the poster in order for her to create meaning to audiences that she has a strong presence in this film. We also used various blending techniques to help sharp edges feather out and this effect is useful as it makes the image look more of a natural shot.

Aucillary poster - Color grading

A major part of both ancillary pieces where color grading schemes that involved and effect called curves which can alter the lighting of images to make them look better and more realistic within the image itself. we used curves for the aucillary magazine the most however because we wanted to kind of tint the protagonist of in a black a white shade to show the lack of consistency the picture has, just like the inconsistent occurances of what happens to the protagoinist.
