POSTER: Setting up mise en scène

We used props from within the film to keep a continuity and coherence with the poster. Again there is a black and white theme throughout and we have used some red font so that the theme of love is apparent.
The lighting causes a lot of problems when we were taking the picture. Originally we was going to have the photo in colour, but instead we settled on black and white. When we wanted the picture in colour lighting the scene was very difficult as we only had limited equipment. I tried lighting the room with my bedroom ceiling light but as you can see below this gave the pictures an unwanted orange tint.


So we again tried lighting the room with natural light from my window. The black surface we used is unmoveable and on the opposite side of the room so we had to wait for a very bright day to light the whole room. But as I would stand over the surface my shadow would cast in the scene, as you can see below.



Finally we decided it would be best to use the flash on the camera so that we could get a white light and you would not see a shadow. This did leave a bright spot on the scene but as a group we grew to like this. This is the photo before it was edited.



And this is it after.
