Analysis of our movie poster images

Last week, Steph and i (lucy), captured some film stills for our movie poster around our home, which is where the majority of scenes are based. It was still daylight when we took the images, preferably we would of taken them in darkness but that required waiting for the sun to set. So we pulled down a blind in our small kitchen window to create a little more darkness. We also knew that we would have the editing tool of darkening the image to create that time of day, and also to suggest and connote the Thriller genre more if the photograph was taken at night.
It took a fair few snapping shots from Steph to capture the perfect image, and several fast head turns from myself who plays the character Isabelle. We wanted to capture my hair spinning round in motion, creating a sudden head turn with a shocked facial expression, to create the illusion that somebody (the stalker) could be there standing behind her in her kitchen, or to just simply show her paranoia that has taken over her life. We dressed our 'Isabelle' in a white top to connote her innocence and youth, with her long blondy browny hair symbolically representing a sense of security coating.
Our reason for capturing the movie poster image in the kitchen, was not only because we have a few shots of Isabelle in the kitchen looking out of her small window, paranoid that somebodys there, but because it suggests the normality of somebody in their home doing normal actions, such as washing up, cooking etc. It suggests a sense of reality (self referential), which we wanted to convey to the audience, hopefully creating a panicked effect, suggesting that even in your own home, you may not be safe; successfully getting the result we wanted from our thriller.
