How I made the movie posters
I began with this photo, I used a black backdrop situated within my living room. I then used my LED RGB light stick, I choose red as I thought it would contrast the blue neon light from the Photo of gun (see below).
After getting the image of myself I started working on ideas of what I could do to add some diversity to the poster. This was when I remebered about a john wick poster I had seen before the shoot. I then asked my dad to hold the pistol at a particular angle. I did take mutilple images all at different angles however it was easier to just rotate the one image in photoshop. For this I had one white light coming from the right side to light the hand / Top part of the gun. I then used my LED RGB light stick, I choose blue as I thought it would contrast the red neon light from the Photo of myself.

Edited photos (edited via Lightroom classic)
There was a slight problem with the right photo, due to my backdrop being wrinkled I had to cut it out in photoshop and place my own backdrop in after.
This video shows me drawing in the outline of the gun to give it more definition along with starting to generate the outline for the "invisible" hand effect I make.
apologies for the music for some reason it recorded the music I was listening to at the time of recording.
Within this video I was showing how I generated an "Invisible hand by creating a vague outline of the hand that was originally there.
This video briefly shows each layer and how it all came together. As I have previously mentioned the gun had to be cut out, this video shows the masks I had used as well as how I removed the hand.
After having made the gun outline, I then brought it into a new photoshop document along with the edited photo of myself. From here I tried positioning the gun around myself as if the guns were pointing at myself. I then changed the blend mode of all the guns to "linear light" which I found to blend really well and bond with the picture of myself. Below is a video showing all the layers used to generate the final piece
The font I used for the main text ("extraction") was "SF Movie Poster" along with the small writing "ADSMEDIA presents a ADSMEDIA production in association with ADSMEDIA A film by ADAM SAUNDERS "EXTRACTION" casting by ADAM SAUNDERS music supervisor ADAM SAUNDERS director of photography ADAM SAUNDERS produced by ADAM SAUNDERS directed by ADAM SAUNDERS" being "Univers LT Std".
