I chose this shot for my film poster and film magazine as the main character is present in the image, and he is also facing forwards with his eyeline falling on the top third which as a result creates direct address with the reader, so forms a relationship. The main protagonist is called Tom which is the title of the film so this works really well as readers can easily associate him with the film. The background of the sheet is really effective as during the film he acts as a carer for his Gran; doing her washing, ironing, and so on. His facial expressions are perfect in this shot as he has the found the ideal mixture of sad and happy, which is what drama films center around; the twist of emotions. Protagonist Tom is wearing his signature outfit in this image which firstly signifys the genre but also creates a brand out of the character and people will relate each of the print products and the trailer together. Moreover the same photo on each of the print products will reinforce the film and main character to viewers.
I really like these two images above, however I think the background of the wood and brick is too harsh on the eye and takes the limelight away from the main character. I also think it suggests to the viewer that the film is about something much rougher and harsher.
These above images are similar to the final one I chose for my two print products, however I just thought the facial expressions weren't as strong. He looks spaced out here which I don't think would engage the reader or viewer of the poster/magazine cover.
I didn't choose this shot as I thought the background of the shrubbery takes the focus away from the main character and it also wouldn't work well with text placed on top of it. It is also over exposed and the characters face isn't focused and lacks interest so wouldn't attract many readers/viewers.
