I really wanted to keep it simple for this design, as the themes and issues raised in Jackie are very complicated and I didn't want to overcomplicate and devalue my final imagery. The film tells the story of Jackie Kennedy coping with being a first hand witness to her husband's brutal assassination, and the aftermath of it coupled with her duty to her husband's legacy, her children and her country. The simplest way I could communicate that was through the collapsing circle behind her figure. I placed her figure in the foreground ahead of the object falling apart to communicate her solidarity and strength in the face of challenges. I wanted the overall mood of the image to be quite melancholy, and I think this dark colour palette works well to achieve that. I would change this design up in the future to maybe communicate some of the heavier themes more clearly, as this design doesn't stick in my mind as well as some of my others.
