This document discusses three potential images to use for a magazine poster for a film. For the first image, the pros are that it clearly shows the main character Natasha in her gown, but the cons are that half her face is cut off and the background character looks more like a zombie. The second image has pros of clearly showing Natasha and focusing only on her with a dark background, but the con is that she has a slight smile. The third image has similar cons to the first but emphasizes Natasha's messy hair and implied connection to the background character, though half her face is cut off. Ultimately, the second image was chosen unanimously as it best followed horror conventions and left space for text.

2. Potential 1
This image was one of the
three potential images we
were going to use for our
poster.
Pros:
The picture shows Natasha
clearly, with her gown in
shot it allows the audience
to see that she is patient.
Carter being behind her
suggests that she had
something to do with why
he is all bloody with shards
of glass
Cons:
The framing of the shot
causes half of Natasha’s
face t be cut out. The
conventions of a magazine
suggest a single person in
the image.
Carter looks more of a
zombie, than a car crash
victim. This gives off the
wrong feel to our film.

3. Pros:
The picture shows Natasha
clearly, with her gown in
shot it allows the audience
to see that she is patient.
The full shot supports the
convention of a single
character for a magazine
cover. The black
background around her is
eerie but forces the
consumer to focus on
Natasha.
This image was one of the
three potential images we
were going to use for our
poster.
Potential 2
Cons:
Natasha has a slight smile
on her face and is not as
effective as it could have
been.

4. This image was one of the
three potential images we
were going to use for our
poster.
Potential 3
Cons:
The cons of this image are
similar to those of the first
image.
The framing of the shot
causes half of Natasha’s
face t be cut out. The
conventions of a magazine
suggest a single person in
the image.
Carter looks more of a
zombie, than a car crash
victim. This gives off the
wrong feel to our film.
Pros:
The picture emphasises the
messiness of Natashas hair
to show she is unkempt.
Carter being behind her
suggest he is connected to
her. And that se possibly
caused him o be cut up and
bloody.

5. A unanimous decision was made t pick the 2nd
image that was brought up. It followed the
conventions of the horror, and for the cover
of a magazine the black space gave us room
to write the articles that needed to go around
the magazine.
The image also shows all of Natasha costume,
her hair and make up al show an unkempt
tired patient. This is the effect we were
hoping to achieve with out image.
