My monk isn’t scary enough! My target audience will expect a scary villain from this film and so I need to make some changes to create a character that audiences will be more likely to want to see.

Firstly I used the greyscale effect on the monk and reduced the colours to create a darker image. I then decided that the audience needed to see his face (or just enough of his face to be able to see that he is a scary character). After doing a Google search for ‘scary monk’ I found these two images.

I tried both and ended up using the second one. I extracted the area around the hood and then drew the lines of the hood around the face using the paintbrush tool. I then erased the lines so that it would create the right shape which I could then position over the monk’s hood.

I have also added the 18 certificate which would show my target audience. It would also entice them to watch the film as it would be likely that there would be graphic violence in the film which my target audience might expect.

I also reduced the opacity levels of the last girl and the sheriff even more so that the Monk would stand out and be the clear point of focus for the audience.
