Evaluting Pictures for Promo Pack

1) This image is of one of the characters in the trailer screaming so as to connote fear to the audience. This picture has a good mise en scene of the lake in the background which links to the story of the film. This picture is unsucessful as the main person in the image is too dark and her face cant been seen clearly enough to crop to create the poster we wanted.

2)This is again a picture of the main character in my trailer screaming so as to connote the horror genre to the audience. This picture works well as her face is clearly visible and can be cropped to the style we want to create our poster, it is also well lit from the natural light and so has a clear professional finish to it. The mise en scene around also connotes horror as it is clear that is a forest which is a typical setting for a horror as it is daunting and eerie.

3)This picture is not sucessful at all as even though the picture is clear and well lit from the natural light from being outside, the main character does not have a scared expression on her face and almost looks as though she is laughing. This does not connote a horror genre to the audience and so would not be a succesful image to crop and use in our film poster.

4) This image is a succesful image to consider to use in our film poster, it has a good natural lighting so as to make the picture extremely clear. The mise en scene connotes horror as the surroundings are dull, grey, dreary colours which help to create a depressive eeire type atmosphere to the audience. The main scary image in the picture stands out in the white outfit so immediately grabs the audience attention so the main focus is on the character which is a big relevance to the film. The mise en scene also links to the film as the main storyline is based around a lake type setting. The way in which the character is holding her arms out connotes horror as well as relating to the film as it could come across that is she going to jump into the lake?

5) The next image also has the same mise en scene of the lake which is a main relevance to the film so gives the audience an insight into the setting of the film that it is at a lake and in a forest. The main scary character stands out against the dull grey background so as to highlight the character in the picture. This picture is unsuccessful however, as the placement on the characters hand look uncomfortable and clumsy as though they are not supposed to be like that and so doesnt help to connote the horror feel that we were aiming for.

6) This image again has the lake and forest background which is relevant to the film so helps the audience understand the setting of it. The main character is in white which stands out against the dull surroundings. The fact that the character is standing there with her arms down almost stiff like is intimidating and un nerving as it is out of the ordinary to stand there like that, also the fact that her hair is over her face also add to the horror genre as the image looks more daunting and scary.
