Poster Research

A typical film magazine front cover always has a person on the front, almost always the main character of the film, in character and often with props. As our trailer doesn't introduce a main character fully, we want the front cover of the magazine to only suggest a main character. Our initial idea is to take a photograph of a girl concealed mostly by dark make-up and hair with very low lighting so only some features are seen, inspired by the use of chiaroscuro and shadows in film noir, where the unknown makes the audience intrigued.
