Images for Promo Package
Below are some of the photos my group took on the main filming day, these will be used in our promo package, to produce a film magazine cover and film poster. We planned the set-up of each photo beforehand to make sure that we got the images we needed.
This is the photo that we will be using for our film magazine front cover. It took several attempts to achieve as initially it was difficult to get Jon (the boy in the background) to appear threatening. I think it is a really effective image and I especially like the way it is divided down the middle. There is plenty of space for a masthead and coverlines which makes it a suitable image to use for a magazine cover.
I like this image however, Jon's pose makes him appear more relaxed and less of a threat, which is not what we wanted.
This was the first group image we took. The main problem is that I took the photo in landscape format and as film posters are typically portrait, it could not be used.
We will be using this photo as our film poster image. We took several other similar images, as we were unsure about how far away from the camera the characters should be, we didn't want too much background to cause the characters to lose their prominence. This one was definitely the best of the many that we took. We positioned Grace and Jon in the centre of the group as they are the main characters in our trailer.
Here we have added effects to the previous image. We used a spotlight effect to darken down the edges of the image and draw focus on the centre. This effect has enabled Grace and Jon to stand out slightly more than the other characters, which is what we were hoping for. I think that this effect has improved the image, giving it a dark, eerie appearance, fitting with the genre horror.
