Lydia Cooke and Rose Bishay propose creating a horror movie poster for their final media production project. They plan to shoot portrait images of a model with a professional camera against a black background, and edit the photos in Photoshop to give them a professional and horrific look. The poster will promote a fictional movie called "Afflicted" and target audiences of males and females aged 15 and older who enjoy bloodthirsty horror movies. Cooke and Bishay believe intriguing images showing possession and using different shots and angles will appeal to and intrigue their target demographic.
