This was the original photo we took for our poster, we used the doorway to the house we were using for filming, we wanted the shot to be from a low angle to make the figure look dominating, this shot we actually used was one that we just took quickly and was a bit of a tester for all the lighting and everything else in the shot, the person who is in this photo is actually tom Edwards (the victim) when it is supposed to me (the killer) but we figured that you wouldn't be able to tell after we adjusted it in photoshop. The picture we had in mind was a silhouette of someone standing in a doorway to a house so for the lighting we tried to make it as light as possible behind the figure but as dark as possible in front. We used headlights from my car to light up the background and also turned on the light behind the head of the figure, in this photo you can see the face and some detail of the person standing, we didn't want this to show but we thought that we would be able to photoshop it into a complete silhouette. To make the figure appear more scary we tried to show that he was holding an axe and also wanted and outline of the the hood rather than his head as this would hide the identity further and add to the mysterious effect.
