Image critique? Movie Poster

[replacementparts]

Here's the sketch I did.


And here's what it's turning into-


It's a 'Horror Movie Poster' photoshop assignment. I'd love to make it look more... Horror movie-ey. I'll need to put in more text, we're supposed to have credits in there and stuff.

I think it has a lot of issues, not least of which is that I need to integrate the separate images better. There's definitely a cut and paste feel going on that I'm not pleased with.

I've also been staring at it too long and would love a set or two of fresh eyes on it. It's due thursday morning but it needs to be printed at 11X17" before then which means taking it to office max tomorrow evening. I have other projects I'm working on too, so I don't have a ton of time to give to this project. Otherwise it'd be fun to just goof around with this a lot more and maybe bring it to a totally different level.

But I don't have a TON of respect for this teacher so eh. It doesn't matter too much.

I get what you mean about the cut-and-paste feeling... maybe adjusting the light contrast of the elements separately (in B&W may help) before putting them together, so it had more or less a similar depth? And then you adjuste it between what's in the foreground and what's in the background to make everything fade/fit together even more? Or something. You're the expert. The head on the floor looks very "bright" and "sharp" (and the head's shadows behind the window doesn't reflect much the "peering at window" + "background" light exposure, IMHO. Feel free to ignore my 2 cents.
