We took various shots of our main characters, played by myself and Tab, before producing our ancillary magazine product. Stereotypically seen on the front cover of a magazine is either the character or actor featured in the newly advertised film, which my previous research on film magazines has proven (e.g. Empire and Total Film). We chose to feature a long shot image of both Melissa and Josh for our magazine as their characters, as if we featured a normal image of our actors out of character, some of the audience may not know who they are as conventionally A-list Hollywood stars don't generally star in supernatural horror films. The shot we have chosen is of a scene that is featured within our film where the disequilibrium begins to happen, in which Josh is persuading Melissa that whatever bad things happened before are not going to happen again, and so this would be recognisable with fans of the film who are familiar with the narrative and the film's teaser trailer. We wanted to also make the location clear within our focal image to establish more of our narrative and where the film is set and this is why we chose to take our image in a living room, suggesting that they are a normal couple and makes it more relatable for our audience.
