final poster analysis

This is our final poster design. When choosing ideas for the image, we knew we wanted to portray the idea of the character having two different personalities. However, we did not want it look like they were twins. We decided that we would have two pictures of Jenny standing side by side wearing two different outfits, this idea then progressed to have Jenny standing side by side but make it look like there is a wall seperating the two personalities. We thought it would be best to have Jenny in the same pose but make sure that the two outfits completely contrasted each other.

We wanted the first personality to be just a plain ordinary teenager, who didn't like to stand out from the crowd and got on well at school etc. To do this we put Jenny in quite plain looking clothes and her hair in bunches with odd coloured hair bands to create the assumption that she has not made an effort with her apperance.The shirt she wore was fully buttoned and she wore odd bracelets on her arms, none that really matched. She is wearing minimal makeup, again to show that she has not made an effort.

The second personality is much more outgoing, she likes to be centre of attention and is constantly at parties drinking alot and taking drugs. Jenny put her hair down and her eye make-up was much darker creating the assumption that she has spent time on her appearnace. She wore a dress, had much heavier jewllery on and her nails were painted black.

To create the wall effect, we had Ellen holding up a piece of flooring with weighted things behind it too. Jenny leaned against the wall in the pose we wanted her in. She leaned in the same direction for both of the outfits and then in Adobe Photoshop we flipped one of the images. Below is a picture Ellen holding the piece of wood:

We added the title in Courier font and added a tag line saying 'one teenage girl, locked in a downwards spiral'. We thought this tag line would make the concept of the two personalities clearer and not that they were twins.At the bootom of the poster we added two quotes that appear in our trailer and added the credits at the bottom. We also included a 15 age certificate logo and logos of different film distributors.
