Photo for the final film poster

For the group film poster that we would use for the film we decided that we should focus on taking a single shot using a camera rather than taking a screenshot from the film which would be in a low quality. This allowed us to have a professional looking picture in which we could change the lighting when taking the shot so that we did not have to edit it in Photoshop which might have ruined the look of the picture. We wanted Tom to be sat down the light showing the outline of his hoodie but we wanted a shadow over his face so it didn't reveal his face. This added a mysterious edge to the photo but it was tricky to both focus the camera to the lighting and also the positioning of the lamp in order to get the right shadow on Tom so it covered his face. However, if we had to insert a screenshot from the film it would have been in low quality so it would not of looked professional and it would of been tough to insert the image into the poster and then make sure it suited the poster.
