Our own test shots for subsidary tasks


These are some of the ideas we had about one of our subsidiary tasks. We decided to produce a poster as an advertisement for the film to accompany our trailer. The Single White Female poster is our inspiration for this as it is of a similar style.

Unlike Single White Female, we have decided to include the boyfriend character in the shot, at least as an initial idea. We also have our inspiration from the poster of Obsessed as this is more to do with the relationship of the character and her boyfriend and the psychopathic's obsession over the man unlike ours how this simply slots in due to the obsession with the girl character who happens to have a boyfriend who she gives more attention to.

We are trying to portray Summer as a happy and content character, as well as Sam in some of the shots, whereas Charlotte looks obsessed and interested in finding out what Summer/Sam are doing a lot of the time. Of course these are simply test shots and the proper poster will look a lot more professional with a proper costume list, editing to make the lighting appropriate and many takes so that we get the sure one.

As you can see, they are either separated by a wall or some form of blockage from seeing each other. This is so that Charlotte looks psychopathic and creepy as Summer does not necessarily know she is there. In the full version, Charlotte will most likely look fairly normal however, there will be a look in her eye to make her clearly look psychopathic, but in consideration for it to look conventional and fit to our trailer, she will be dressed in fairly plain but modern clothes. We may put make up on her to make her eyes look darker to make her look as if she has a certain darkness about her.

Summer will be in bright clothes and look quite girly and pretty and content with Sam, if he is used. She will most likely have a look on her face which suggests she is entirely happy with her life so it shows the irony of the film.
Our other subsidiary task is a magazine cover which we have been researching, such as GORE ZONE magazine editor coming in and talking to us about it. We will start with it's production soon. These are simply test shots but just a general idea of what we are expecting
