Film Poster Draft Two

Here I did some more experimenting as I am still learning to use the software, and it can be quite confusing, so I have been using a lot of YouTube tutorials on-line in order to make it look more of a professional nature, because in my draft one it didn't look very professional. So I have continued trying to get the image to the colour I want it to be before I do any more to the image. 

So I filled in the rest of the image and used the photo lab on Serif Draw Plus to to fade my image into the black and I also decreased its brightness to -25% and my contrast was at 0%. I wanted innocent and death to be connoted within my poster. So I kept a shadow of lighting on her face, this is to represent the purity and innocent, but as there is so little light it suggesting the dark is out weighting the light. The bad is consuming the good.

I have previously had the idea of making my poster look similar to a montage however This have been incredible difficult to do, so I started of small and then I will attempt to try further images on the poster, however I don't want to overcrowd it. So I imported the image of the antagonist and the protagonist and then I went into the Cut out studio to remove the background, this was difficult because the background wasn't plain so the blade kept catching aspects of my image, so I had to decrease the size of the blade and slow go around the image and click the areas I wanted to remove. Once this was completed this I then tuck the image to the photo lab and I experimented with the different effects that I had but I didn't like any on them so I decided to fade the image into the shadows so it gives more of a montage look. So in order to do this I kept my brightness at 0% and the contrast at 70% and then I decided I wanted to add an effect after this so I added an effect called black and white film. Where I used different percentages of the colour such as red was -35% and yellow was -82% for me to create the faded black colour I have.
