Subsidiary photos

These are some of the pictures I took when thinking about my subsidiary task. As you can see for the poster picture I used a similar format to other conventional romantic comedy posters. I used as white background as all the other poster pictures have been taken on a white background. These pictures need editing which is what I plan on doing later on today. They will be cropped and made to look glossy. The light blue denim jacket highlights the pastel colour I wanted to use and the boys who aren't the main characters are in the back in slightly duller costume. I think this poster will appeal to both men and women from my target audience of late teens as it features Gracie and the male characters as well. This will draw all audiences in.

Poster Pictures:

I chose these two pictures as the ones to work on and edit as I particularly like all the characters facial expressions. In the first one I like the way the actress of Gracie is looking classic and confident and the two boys have carried on their character roles. The picture also looks natural which fits with the title of the film 'A girl next door.' The costume is everyday and not particularly fancy which may make the audience associate with the characters more and it also adds to the realism of the film.

In the second photo I like the confused look on Gracie's face. It almost feels like a Bridget Jones- esque type of shot. However, I shall see which one is editted best and then use that one in the poster.

For my magazine front cover I took a picture of the lead girl and one of the boys. Like the poster image I am unsure of which picture to use. I chose to take both as each picture targets a different audience. Gracie's picture will draw in the male audience from the 'Empire' magazine . Justin's picture will be iconic for men and make them think 'Yeah men can be in a romantic comedy and still be cool'?? Having thought all this through I will use both of these images like the Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom 'Empire' shoot for the audience purposes.

I really like this picture. Imogen the actress of Gracie looks really pretty and down to earth and she is attractive to the male eye. I decided to put her in the same costume as what she wore in the poster so the audience can see the link between the film poster, trailer and the magazine, creating a marketing brand for the complete film. The editing side will take time as I want it to look conventional to the 'Empire' style. The shadow will be cropped as well as the black curtain and railing so once again the image is just on a simple white background.

I think I may re-take the shot with Greg and Imogen in so it will take less time to edit the two photos together.
