Ideas for poster pictures

When filming our trailer we also decided this would be a good time to try and take some pictures for our poster. We decided on two ideas, the abductor on the stair case and the feet of the Abductor by the door. Both are scenes from the trailer so we believe they will link well together.

We all thought this would be a good poster idea as it would show the shadow of the abductor giving the scare factor as you do not see his face and any features at all because of the bulky coat he is wearing. However when actually taking the photos of him they were not as we expected. Because of the wooden bars that are on the staircase it blocks a lot of him off and does not give the same affect it has in the trailer. Also by either adding carpet or the window above him it ruins the sense of fear slightly and just looks wrong.

This picture we believe is a lot better then the one above. It does not give anything away such as the abductors face or figure but only the shoes and trousers he wears. Also with editing we can make sections stand out more then others causing the poster to look like the Sixth Sense one that we looked at earlier. We like this one because it was simplistic but easy to understand what it is about, which we hope our poster will also do. Below is other shots we took of the same position, but in different ways, but we all believed that this one was the best overall.
