I challenged the conventions of other film poster and media products already out there, as I found the majority of these products included long/medium long shots as there main image. Instead I decided to use close up and medium close up images as a felt this would work effectively in displaying the emotions of the characters to the audience.
Film Poster Images
I used these two images as the main images on film poster, The pictures alongside each show the pictures when they were first taken to after I had edited them. I think the editing of my photos works well in portraying the genre of the film and creating a sense of mystery. I used Microsoft Word to edit my photos by using the soft edges tool. I challenged conventions also in my poster photography by not giving any direct address from the actors and instead getting them to look away from the camera. I found this to be effective as it too creating mystery, by for example making the audience wonder what is the young girl looking at in the first photo.
Magazine Photography
For my magazine I found it to be more effective to have just one main focus on the page, and therefore decided to use just one main image. Moreover I found this to be a convention the majority of magazines had. I again used the soft edges tool in order to create a link between my magazine front cover and film poster. I also found the photo editing I used worked as a shadow around the photo, representing the title of the film. For my magazine photography, I used a direct address by getting the actors to look directly into the camera in order to draw in the audiences attention and give off a personal effect, as though the actors are looking at you personally to buy this magazine.
