POSTER: Setting up mise en scène

When taking the picture we had to think about how to set things up for example the hand across the face to show the danger that she was heading towards but also the pain that she caused. The hand caused half the face to be in shadow and the other half is smiling and bright showing the change that happens in her starting as this bright happy person and becoming this dark shell of herself. She would be surrounded with darkness because to her that is what her world has become so in the image it's like she is being engulfed with darkness. We really had to think about how we wanted the hand to be across the face if the fingers should be flexed or curled to show aggression as if the person was about to grab her face. Lighting was also really important because of the play of shadow as we only want half the face in shadow and the other half in light, and because we wanted her face to look natural not affected by any artificial light.
so that it looked more professional.
