After taking multiple shots of my central protagonist and her love interest, I chose this image to be the primary image for my Film Poster. Like the majority of images used to advertise in today's society, I thought it would be appropriate to edit the picture, not to drastically change the way they appear but simply to enhance features. Using an app called Airbrush on my phone, I started by making their skin appear smooth. I ensured that the picture didn't look airbrushed and still appeared natural, in order to correlate with my social realism genre. I then made their eyes and eyebrows darker in order to make their eyes 'pop' and stand out. I enhanced the size of Flo's eye (left) in order to make them stand out even more as I found that even when making them darker, they still didn't stand out as much as I would have liked them to. I then reduced, but didn't completely remove, the dark circles under their eyes. This was to make their skin look brighter for the poster but wasn't completely removed so that they still looked natural.
In the before image, you can see how Ann's shoulder (right) is slightly lighter than her facial tone. In order to make my poster more symmetrical and visually appealing, I evened our her skin tone. I then elongated the image to make the pair appear taller which would also help fill space on the film poster. After elongating the image, I slightly restructured Ann's face to make her chin appear slimmer because after elongating the image, her head and torso ratio didn't appear proportionate. Finally, I filled in smile lines of their faces to make their expressions in the final image appear more serious, reflective and subdued. Looking at the image holistically, I achieved my desired look as the image doesn't look drastically different. The image has simply been edited to appear more proportionate and symmetrical in order to enhance its visual appeal.
