Here is a video I made using, Biteable, of the different shots taken for the poster of our trailer 'The Enigma.'
We wanted there to be a link with the magazine front cover so decided on the use of shadows and there being a coloured light shining on certain parts of the actor's face. So, to produce the red tinted light, we covered the camera lens with red tissue paper and ensured that the actor's clothing didn't disrupt the image by asking him to wear darker clothing. To go with the mystery idea, we got the actor to cover his face with his hair and got him to wet it to make it look shiny and effective.
The image on the left is the chosen image for the poster as it
came out the most clearest and the red tint on the camera was subtle but worked really well in highlighting certain parts of his face in red. Additionally, the actor's facial expression looks very serious and stern which is what we wanted as it portrayed the darker side of the character within the trailer. Additionally, his gaze directly into the camera creates a more frightening effect on audiences.
