Game of Thrones
Although not a film, I decided to also analyse the photoshoots done for Game of Thrones. The first image presents Jon Snow (left, played by Kit Harrington) and Daenerys Targaryen (right, played by Emilia Clarke) and is very bland as well as having been obviously been done in a studio. I do not like this idea in regards to the photos I will need to take for my magazine as it does not give the audience a clear idea of who the characters are or what the story is even about apart from the fact that Daenerys is clearly highborn whereas Jon looks like a warrior. Alternatively looking back on the poster I think was a very strategic move used to please the fans of the series in regard to Jon's heritage which was revealed in season six whilst this poster is supposedly from season two! The poster in the middle of Arya Stark (played by Maisie Williams) really emphasises on her character's development from the tom-boy daughter of Ned Stark to a training assassin. Also the background of the poster is supposedly inside the Hall of Faces however the stone column she is leaning against is not dark stone like it should be but covered in frost and ice which links back to her character's origin as a daughter of Ned Stark whose house words are "Winter is coming". Finally I chose to look at a poster of three characters who could arguably be three of the most powerful women in the series: Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey), Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer) and Daenerys Targaryen. This photo has obviously not be taken in studio and is actually on set of the film making the audience aware of the setting of the series or the season from which the photo is from. The photo portrays the top three female claims to the Iron Throne and therefore sets competition for the season it is for. This could be a good idea in regards to the magazine article having perhaps the Woodland Queen with Melodie and Sienna. Also, all the photoshoots are of the character(s) looking into the camera although not purposefully breaking the fourth wall. This is another factor I must consider in regards to my short film's article as it seems common in the photos I have chosen to study.
