POSTER: Setting up mise en scene

The mis-en-scene in our poster was aimed to be as little background props as possible as we wanted to have the main focus on Vicky’s face. We wanted to use a medium shot of her face so we used a reflection on the mirror as this has two meanings. One meaning is the girl looking into the mirror as one person, being sad and unhappy with her life, and then we have the reflective image. This image looks kind of confused but yet as if she’s trying to look happy. This reflection is what the character Vicky wants her reflection to look like. We also see a glass of wine. We put this in the middle of the image as although its small and not the main focus but it shows a sense of feminism and good time. However, the wine also symbolises Vicky wanting to drink her time away as she is depressed and unhappy. Finally, the bedroom door is closed in the background. This door being closed behind her is representing her being closed away from the rest of the world, and that she is keeping herself to herself and not interferes with the rest of the world.
