The document discusses photos taken of a model, Nina, for a horror trailer. Several shots were taken with different angles, lighting, makeup and hair to portray Nina as a victim who had been salvaged. Close-up shots with messy hair and minimal makeup were preferred to portray her as not glamorous. Wider shots showing her full body were also considered but a close-up was ultimately chosen to intrigue audiences aged 15 and up by appealing to both male and female gazes.
