looking over shoulder, sense of mysteriousness

more distance from the camera, trees relating to opening

Things to include on the poster:

 ratings

 age certificate

festivals

 companies

 credits

Final photos to choose from to use for the poster:

I like this photo because there is a sense of loneliness, also the posture of the character shows the emotions of the film that i want to convey to the audience.

I like this because there is motion in the photo and you are left wondering whether the character is running away or towards something and what that thing could be.

I like this photo because it is more unusual because it is an extreme close up shot, I also really like the bold colours (blue and green) in this photo.

I am going to use the second photo because there is more action and my questionnaire shows it grabbed the most attention because of the movement. The people I asked also said it is the photo they can see as most likely being on a poster for a film.
