Ancillary task- Film poster

To understand more about the importance of a good photo, i decided to take some of a friend. to stick to the theme of horror, i got her to pose in positions that make her appear vulnerable and weak.


For example, the camera at a high angle, looking down on her huddled on the floor with her face in her knees. i also took close up shots of her face, with her hands over her mouth in shock, as well as crouching on the floor and covering her mouth to muffle her breathing- commonly seen in horror and thriller movies.














The camera is cornering her in this photo, making her appear trapped and lost.





















This angle also makes her appear vulnerable, due to the camera looking down on her. her hands covering her mouth and her scared expression work well with the theme of horror.

This is my edited photo i have altered on photo shop i have cut the figure out and pasted it on a clean background. i then used certain tools to highlight her to make her seem ghostly. i also blurred the edges to add to the super natural feel. after that I added some editing to the corners of the picture, to bring something extra to further add to the haunting vibe, and making the whole thing appear eerie. I decided to go half way between keeping it simple, like 'The Strangers' and using editing to create effect, like 'Drag Me To Hell'. this picture, however, isn't quite finished to qualify for a film poster. i still need to add the typical conventions you expect to see on a film poster, such as a title, tag line, and small print.
