Review: Choosing most appropriate images

On our poster we have three seperate images all designed specifically to compliment our media production and to portray the direction we wish our project to follow. As our page was a one page spread we decided to have three relatively small images so as to not overload the picture and coincidentally break away from the EMPIRE magazine we were aiming for.

The picture above is our largest picture and coincidentally is one part of our films two protagonists. We obviously wanted a picture of our main characters on the review page so that readers will be aware of who's inside. However a more unconventional decision we made was for none of our pictures to be face on and therefore our pictures look natural and 'real'. In the picture above we decided to take a photo of our character Jack H holding a whisky bottle which as a result to those that haven't seen the film get the impression immediatly that this is a film which may be controversial and 'semi-legal'. In addition we tried to narrow the amount of shots taken as we was using real whisky.


Our second picture and smaller sub-picture is of our second protagonist arriving at the venue dressed smartly to add to the effect that these are big money players. The subject of the picture is looking away, almost paranoid that hes being watched which coincidentally adds to the 'semi-legal' theme embroidered in our film.


The last picture is one of all three of us in the heat of a poker 'battle'
