POSTER: Setting Up Mise-En-Scene

When we were drawing up our film poster, I thought that it was of importance that we conveyed Mise-en-Scene well as this is an important convention of film posters as things such as props, body language, lighting and costume can have a vital importance to telling a story through our poster.
Firstly, when we were thinking up our idea for our film poster we all thought that we should keep the theme of insecurity and shyness running on to the film poster. Therefore we decided that we could have our little girl in our poster with her back towards us which shows that she doesn't want to talk and is scared to talk to us. I thought that this would work well as in the film she is scared that her mum and dad are asking therefore in the poster it could show that she is scared, also it gives the audience something to think about.
Secondly, when thinking about costume we had to think that the girl in our film poster was going to be a young girl therefore we thought that if we put her in pyjamas this would be conveyed as 'cute' along with the red bow that we placed in her hair.
When thinking about props we thought that it was essential that the scissors were used in the shot that was going to be used on the poster. This is because I think that it makes the audience think 'why has a young girl got scissors?', this is what I wanted to aim for in my poster as I would like the audience to be drawn in by the poster. I think that the little girls body langauge in the way she's holding the scissors says that she is unsure at what she is doing with which could make the audience nervous.
When considering lighting we thouhgt that it would be good to have good enough lighting to show the little girl but also so that it was not light enough to light the room putting more emphisis on the girl.
