I created 3 A3 images (pictured here) as a response to my dissertation. They are informed from Mulvey's Male Gaze theory and Freud's The Uncanny theory, Carrie embraces the male gaze theory through use of a sexualised silhouette in the centre, white in colour to attract attention of the viewers. The pink figures surrounding the silhouette show off the voyeuristic nature of the film. The Uncanny is suggested through the use of the small eyes in the figures watching the white sexualised silhouette. The poster for silence of the lambs embraces The Uncanny the most as it explicitly uses eyes and eye like shapes to suggest sexual repression which is a key theme within the film itself. Lastly the image for Alien uses warped eyes to suggest oozing which again relates to The Uncanny as the fear of castration often reflects itself through eyes.
All three images/posters were influenced by my research on Polish film artists as polish film artists use themes rather than westernised actors within their images.
I was pleased with all three images as I feel that they contained the relative theories from the essay and the themes of the films.
