Setting Up Mise en scene of Poster

When we started organising our photo shoot we decided to take a number of images at separate setting's to produce a different background to experiment with ideas. As our film was a modern approach to the classic horror film we kept the classic convention setting of a forest which was on of our setting's with the other two setting being present in the film. We also took an image of the plain background setting without the actress in place to later be used for possible visual effects.

We also directed our actress to produce a number of poses and running setting's to analyse the best figure position that is effective and looks natural as w e could take an image of our actress whilst in motion due to issues of focusing.

When researching other horror film poster and their use of mise en scene we found that a use of a prop or special effects were often used to produce a suggestive message. however we could not exactly reciprocate this as our film did not involve a definitive prop such as a murder weapon however we could at a later date add an image effect which we kept in mind during the photo shoot process.

We kept the other areas of mise en scene such as lighting and costume simple such as using natural light and on stage costume.
