Picture Ideas For Poster

Here are some pictures I found on deviantart.com in the photography/people&portraits/expressive section. I looked at portraits because we want our photo to be of the main character on her own, and I looked in the expressive section because we didn't just want a plain portrait of the character we want it to be showing something about the film. These photos have given me lots of ideas and inspiration of how we can do our poster photo and it's also given me some ideas for shots we could use in the trailer as well.

I like this photo because of how they've layered a few different positioned photographs. I think using the same technique of this but using a close up of our characters face would work well for the kind of effect were going for on our poster, a distorted view.

This photo doesn't really relate to our theme exactly but i think it looks really effective and real, but obviously wouldn't be right for the style of image we're going for.

I like this image because of how close up it is which is what we are doing for the photo on our poster, I also think just showing the eye shows more expression but keeps the identity of the person hidden. If we used the same setup for our poster photo as this I would probably want to have the eye look bigger and probably make it black and white and with the eye a little further down so the eyelashes aren't cut out of the photo.

This is my favourite of the photos I looked at, it gives off an obvious vibe of horror which we want and it also draws you in and makes you interested and look closely. I think the fact it's black and white with the blood drip in colour is really effective and makes it fit in with the horror genre. I think this image would be easy to achieve just using a good camera and the editing tools on photoshop. I think maybe combining this photo idea with the first one using layers of photos could also work really well.

I also really like this photo because it's quite scary, a close up version of this maybe of just one half of the face would work really well for our poster. The girls expression makes her look terrified but it also makes the person looking at it scared as well because the eyes are like popping out which scares me but I really like the black going down her cheeks.

This image was created by scanning the face directly onto the computer. I think it gives a really good effect of being trapped but I don't think we would want to use this technique or layout as there are a couple of other effects that look and would work better.
