I previously mentioned on my blog that I wanted to use a photograph like this one on the left while creating a front cover of a magazine as I thought it would be effective and give further insight to the audience about the characters included in my film and hints as to what may happen as the story unfolds.
However, after I took the shoot for this cover (photographs are included on my blog), I didn't really like how the photographic series of those ones in particular turned out but I did like one of Athena (one of my main protagonists) which I think would work extremely well with both the layout and themes of the magazine. The photograph I have decided to use is the one on the right because I think although simplistic, it includes elements which can be delivered as hints to audience members as to what is going on or even what will happen with this character throughout my film. I additionally like how highly contrasted it is, linking in with the tougher/darker themes covered within my film, the condensation/rain on the window further helps make this clear. The view outside the window gives hints that this character is one which may be in a difficult financial situation and as she is gazing outside the window this could suggest to the audience members that she may even be in a difficult situation in relation to her pregnancy. I'm looking forward to creating my magazine front cover as I think it will now work out a lot better than previously planned.
