This is a screenshot from our short film which I will be intending to use for my main image on my magazines double-page-spread final design. I chose this image based on the content and the colour palette it gives off. The image is very graphic which instantly gives the audience the indication as to what genre this short film is and whether or not it appeals to them. It also allows readers, who may be fans of the crime/thriller genre, to be drawn into reading this page based on their interests in certain film genre's. The image shows a graphic content via the knife with the blood slowly dripping off the blade. I like the overall graphic approach of this image which I believe will intrigue reader and draw them into this page. I also however like the 'teaser' aspect it gives. This is ultimately a major aspect of our film and the fact I am showing a major element of the films plot allows the audience to read into the image, before actually reading the review. This I believe allows the reader to speculate the events which depict in this film, allowing them to create their own ending results before even watching the film, or reading the review, which will hopefully intrigue them into wanting to watch this film.
In terms of the colour palette, it's ultimately very secondary and dark, which fits the genre of our film and conventions of reel media products. The background is out of focus which gives a nice blend of natural colour created primarily from the background. This not only looks professional, but it allows the knife to stand-out effectively to the reader. It also allows the colour of the blood on the knife to have an almost 3-D effect because of the fact the background is out-of-focus. It also allows the texture of the blood to look more graphic and allow the different shades of red to ultimately make the blood look more realistic.
