Our Advertising Poster

For our subsidiary tasks we haven chosen to do a magazine cover that advertises our film and a advertising poster. We have been researching both these texts to try and get an element of what conventions they use.

After brain storming some ideas we came up with a few and decided to put them into practice to see what they would look like. We started by composing the characters and taking pictures, and these are them :)

We came up with this main idea from the poster 'Single White Female' which has been one of our main media influences when doing our coursework.

(This will be analysed on another blog)

We first came up with the idea of Summer and Charlotte being separated in the poster by a door or a wall, this was to show Charlotte's 'stalker' and psychologically messed up side! We took some test shots (please keep in mind these are only testers!) to see how this would look. We love the expression in Charlotte's face, it shows her longing to be close to Summer and wanting everything she has and wanting to just be her. We thought it might be a good idea to bring in Summer's boyfriend, Sam, in the pictures to really show Charlotte's jealous side and to add another twist on things. We might use this composition for our advertising poster but with a better camera, selected wardrobe and lighting!
