The use of shadows is one of complex design but can reside in beautiful depictions of particularly normal or everyday images (shadows in this case). However, it is their construction or their deeper meaning which adds to their elegance. Within art as you can see below, shadow art can be constructed using objects and matter or with the use of ledges for example positioned in the direct way of the light source. But this is a difficult means to construct within a film poster. Below are some inspiration images: (the post continues further down the page)
We thought that it would be difficult to find a means of incorporating this within our work. This was until we came across in our research this fan art piece inspired by "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" where it was a portrait covered by a painted or graffitied side profile of the female protagonist. Therefore we thought that we could take direct inspiration from this, utilising an extreme close up of our protagonist, with a male silhouette shrouding half her face in order to hide behind it, as if him and the act he committed has become part of her identity. Behind however would not be a plain background but the backdrop of our feather motif found as a running symbol within the teaser trailer.
The problems we will need to be careful of however, is to make sure it doesn't appear too comic like as this will lose the social realism aspect and in turn lose the sentimental nature of the emotion found within our character's face
