Potential Poster Shots

For the next part of our project we have to create a poster for our short film. Below I have chosen four shots which I think are visually appealing and appropriate for our Flight poster. The shot that we choose for our poster will also be the one that is used for our magazine review, the next part of the project. 

Potential Shots

What I like about this shot is the way the shadows cover our main characters face, concealing her identity, this shot portrays mystery to our audience. As this shot does not give much away about our film  it will make audiences curious about our film and influence them to watch it.  I feel this shot does hint that our production is of the drama genre as its quite a strong and emotional shot, the character looks deep in thought and looks like she is struggling with a personal issue.

I think this shot is very powerful and visually appealing, its eye-catching which will attract audiences to our poster and get them interested in our film. I also really like the way the characters identity is hidden, much like the above image, as it will get the audience curious about our production and want to find out more. I also think this shot poses questions to the audience such as, who is our main character? and what is she thinking about? as our character looks as if she is deep in thought.

I think this shot portrays our film genre very well as its a very dramatic shot. In this shot you can clearly see our main character and her expression of thought, again this shot poses questions to the audience such as, what is the character thinking about? which will entice audiences into seeing our production. The only problem I have with this shot is that its not very colourful and eye-catching unlike the above two, its not as visually appealing and therefore may not catch the eye of audiences.

This shot is also very visually appealing, again I have chosen a shot where our main character is concealed as I really like the sense of mystery is portrays and how it doesn't give much away, posing questions to the audience. The only negative I have with this shot is that, as a still, audiences may not understand what the character is doing and this may confuse them.

After individually picking our favorite shots from our film we all sat down together to decide on one that would be the mos suitable for our poster. We all came to the decision that we would chose my shot number two. This is because we thought it was the most eye-catching and visually appealing out of the bunch. We also liked how our character was concealed, portraying mystery and hinting about the themes which may run throughout production.
