For our photoshoot we wanted to portray the actress and the character as one person. We wanted to used a clear divide between the two and came up with the idea of using different makeup. We first of all did half of Talia's face in makeup of bruising in blood, which is seen in the trailer and also in the poster of the film. We then did half of her face in blood and bruising in contrast with girlie makeup to reflect the actress. We also then made her full face in blood and bruising contrasted with fun, sexy shots to reflect the actress in a shocking way. We also took some shots with a cigarette to show her rebellion and we could also draw on comparisons with iconic Marilyn Monroe images and use that as the actresses inspiration.
We wanted to encorporate the character as it is a micro media production we can't rely on the actresses reputation to sell the film. The shocking images of Talia bein beaten up are used to grab people's attention and relate it to the character. We took some photos in which her expression was sad and serious to reflect her character, but we felt that by using fun and cheeky expressions we can reflect the actress and create attention of the film by creating controversy.
