our genre was a supernatraul thriller with a strong female role
we created the figure by dressing one of our group memebers in black and simply putting black cloth over their face, the kind of door they stood behind gave it the blurred effect, by having the figure in black it rpresents dark and evil so straight away the audiance would know tha something isnt right.The image shows a young school girl doing some work after school but a dark mysterious figure is watching her through the door this gives a sense of danger by her being oblivious of the figure behind her this is why we had her just focusing on her work as if she was looking into the camera it would have th effect that it wasnt just her and the figure that someone else would be looking at the figure so they would know what was going which isnt the effect we wanted it to have as it then changes what we wanted as the storyline.We used the room that we did as it helped to add to the setting as it gave the figure the blurred effect and the posters around by the door so you know that its in a school enviroment.
if i had to choose out of the two for which one was the stonger image i would choose the close up version as it is more focused on the figure behind the door and is more obvious and although you cant see what shes doing it isnt realy relevent to the image and is still obvious where its set as it dosnt look anything like an office or apartment still
to make it better we could maybe have it in a better setting like having a darker key lighting and her sitting just in lamp light instead of a full room lit as it would add to the scariness of it and would have more recognition for the audiance that she was alone.
