Magazine Cover & Poster Planning

I have 'shortlisted' a bunch of photographs and video screen-grabs to use for the cover and poster.
This group of photographs were chosen and briefly edited as they contain content that is intriguing but not overly revealing; acting like a tease much like the trailer. I have aimed to select photographs/screen grabs that engage emotion and help people relate to the images either through construction/composition, colours or a display of relationships between the subjects.


Somewhat weak centre piece. Not particularly thought provoking or engaging

Shows classic mountaineer life; relatable. Mediocre backdrop, some characters present

 Decent backdrop, some characters present, road-trip style emphasised, saturated colours

Excellent background, mild saturation gives impression mountain is daunting and overwhelmingly powerful. Master-shot style

Good backdrop, emotional scene, relatable. Calm among the chaos - likely to use this shot

Action shot, heel-hook. No incredible task, single character present

The whole team, very useful for relating to characters and engaging audience. Backdrop could be cropped further

 Several characters present but not all. Purple tinge, connotations of mystery. Cars and kayaks visible, camping style obvious

Excellent centre piece. Powerful, features all characters, lively. Great backdrop

Good facial expressions but under-exposed faces. Engaging and relatable in regard to road-trip aspect

'Failure' implication, powerful scene, could be used anywhere on poster

 'Pain' implication, ""

Could be used at side, relates to road-trip aspect, well composed action shot. 'Living on the edge'
