Out of the many photographs I took I chose to select three to work with for my film poster. Below shows the editing process for each picture and how I ended up with a finalised photograph which I could possibly use for my final poster design. The reasons I chose these three images is because I liked the idea of my image not consisting of direct mode of address to portray the messaging of "turning his back on his past".
For this image I started by increasing the overall contrast and decreasing the overall brightness of the picture to give it a dark atmosphere. After adjusting the brightness and contrast I added a vignette effect to give the photograph a black and closed in boarder.
"In photography and optics, vignetting (/vɪnˈjɛtɪŋ/; French: "vignette") is a reduction of an image's brightness or saturation at the periphery compared to the image center."
After adding the vignette effect I then added another filter which is called "Posterize" this effect allows the photograph to look sketched and artistic. I like the idea of the "Posterize" effect because it portrays the message that the character has to over come his past life and draw a new path for himself.

I really like this image purely for the fact the character is looking into the sunset, portraying "looking for a better path". For this image I just simply adjusted the brightness and contrast to enhance the colours in the image, this effect allowed me to enhance the colours in the sunset and brighten up the image as a whole.
And finally, I really liked this image as once again the same message portrayed from image 2 is given, "looking for a better path". Instead of adjusting the images brightness and contrast I adjusted the hue and saturation. This also enhanced the colours in the sunset to make the image look more appealing. I also added the film grain in light filter, this gives the image a distressed effect, I thought that the distressed look worked well with the genre of the film because the urban scene is brought to attention. I also did some research into film posters of a similar genre, containing a heroic figure and plot, for example; Blade and Harry Potter. As seen in the image below there is a lack of direct mode of address used for this genre, therefore I felt that using the three chosen images as possibilities could work with stereotypical film posters of a similar storyline and character.
I also researched into film posters of my specific chosen genre (Sports/Drama), and I discovered a similarity that direct mode of address wasn't present on many posters, as seen from the images below of posters for "Stomp the Yard", "Rocky" and "The Blind Side".
