My movie poster is based on a comic action movie called "Dimensions". The story is about an adventurous girl from a small town who accidentally stumbles upon a portal and finds herself travelling into alternate dimensions. In the poster, is a girl sitting in between two escalators, which is actually the portal that takes her to these universes. In every universe, she has to complete a set of missions and find the same portal in a time constraint. Some of the universes she ends up in looks completely different than the original world she came from. Hence, the comic book theme. The comic universe is the most important one in the story, as that is the one where she meets people she feels she can’t leave behind and has difficulty making it in time to the portal to take her back home.
I created this poster using a DSLR Camera, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe Photoshop. I started off by doing a photoshoot with my DSLR Camera. I went with my friend, Hannah Estrada, to some lighted escalators at night. I had her sit in between two of the escalators for the "portal". I specifically had her wear primary colors for her outfit to go with the pop-art, comic book theme in the film. After the photoshoot, I chose my favorite photos and edited them in Adobe Photoshop. I focused on emphasizing the motion of the light and the colors of her outfit. I did this using the curves and color balance tool. Additionally, I used the brightness/contrast tool, crop tool, and hue/saturation/darkness tool. Afterwards, I brought my favorite photo into Adobe Illustrator to create the actual poster. Using the image trace tool, I emulated the comic book effect on the photo. I added a blue space underneath where I put in the "film credits" and I chose a font for my title. On top of my title, I also added duplicates in white to create a more interesting effect.
