Photoshoot for poster and magazine cover

For my magazine cover and poster, I wanted to feature the protagonist, Summer, as the main image. The image for my magazine cover involved Summer holding a lantern in the dark, with the light shining on a section of her face.

Image 1

This image is very striking. We see only one of her eyes which creates a very sinister tone and creates mystery and suspense. This image is also good as her skin is very pale, which portrays that she is frightened and fits in with the horror theme. Also the picture itself is of high quality, and the facial expression shows that she is frightened of something, and the viewer needs to watch the film to find out what it is.

Image 2

This image is similar to the first expect the facial expression isn't as striking. Also the image in general isn't as impressive. For this reason I will pick image 1 for my magazine cover.

For my poster, I wanted to take a picture to show Summer as being vulnerable, scared and trapped. For this reason I used a torch in a dark room to illuminate her face, this created a shadow behind which acts as an ominous figure and creates an eirry atmosphere to put the audience on the edge. Here is the image:
