Photography for Magazine Cover

Poster ideas...

We chose to put the murderer on the front cover on the magazine as we thought it would look more appealing

Trashy magazines never have a full body length picture on the front cover so we took that in to account,

We wanted to try different ways in which the pictures look and make the audience who look at the front cover feel threatened, so we told Joe who plays the murderer to stand at an angle to the left to still be straight on to the camera and then look to the right to give that creepy, distant look.

Costume...

The costume is a stereotypical outfit f what a murderer would where especially in TV soaps, he is dressed in all black so even when viewers haven't watched the drama “Hilltop Farm” they know straight away that he is evil.

Poster ideas...

This was another idea for him to come up close to the camera, this idea would look professional once photoshop and placed onto the magazine

The look on his face draws the audience in and the fact he is giving eye-contact makes them feel threatened as this is exactly what we wanted him to look like.

Poster ideas...

This shot was done slightly below the eye level to make him look more dominating in the shot and almost like he's going to be watching you. This will draw the audience in as again because of the eye contact it makes the audience feels threatened.
