I'm looking forward to using all the different elements I've learned about frame and composition and applying it to something that personally interests me as I feel like I'm much more prepared now to make a compelling and complete image knowing much more about the importance of arrangement. My first thought for a theme was Quentin Tarantino's latest well spoken bloodbath, The Hateful Eight. Being a western the film starts with a lot of long ranging shots of roads, forests and mountains, and I thought such shots would lend themselves well to posters with depth to create the sense of foreboding that is very present in the film. I also wanted to use the lines of the road and the hills to create lines of sight for the viewer, highlighting a sort of movement throughout the frame.
As I thought more about the visuals of the theme and how it mostly takes place in a hilltop tavern, I also wanted to experiment with creating an atmosphere of claustrophobia with closely arranged and overlapped elements within the frame. Things like characters being pressed up against a wall at gun point and certain people being thrown into a well helped me visualise this feeling and how I could best express it visually.
