[Include other possible pictures for poster]
We had various other pictures we could have used but we decided to use the one of just the girl.
Choosing an image of the "parents" would not have conveyed the message that we wanted to give. It would have suggested a happy family, and having the title as Torn would have suggested that this happy family would perhaps be in trouble and we felt that was too obvious. Given the ideology of our target audience, we valued that an obvious poster would have almost been insulting. We wanted a subtle way of hinting that the protagonist (the young girl) is in some sort of trouble or danger (hence the scissors) without being too obvious. Having her back towards the camera made it more of a mystery as much like most of the film, we aren't entirely aware of her feelings or intentions. This mystery made the poster more intriguing therefore capturing a further interest and enticing an audience to watch the film.
