Photoshoot

Today after we finished our filming I took some photographs for my ancillary tasks. I wanted to have pictures which didn't tell the audience too much about the film, because I want to grab the audiences attention and make them think about the image which shows mystery and relates to the psychological horror genre.

This shot of Maddie at the top of the stairs suggests many things to the audience, for example the low angle shot makes this character look powerful which means that final girl theory has been applied meaning she is smart enough to survive the horror she has been through and that she can overcome the antagonist. Also the body language she is showing suggests that a stereotypical female character is used where the female character crys and shows herself as weak.

The shots of the mask gives our film trailer an iconic symbol to make our film more unique and stand out from the rest of psychological films. I decided to take a picture of the mask using a close up shot as it will suggest mystery to the audience therefore make them more interested in the the film. Some examples of films that have iconic symbols is Scream and Annabelle.

I did the same shot of the mask however I used a red light instead of a normal light to show a more shocking image because the colour red symbolizes danger and blood which relates to a horror genre film.
