Unlike my poster, with my double page spread I wanted screenshots from my film rather than photos that were taken separately. This is because with double page spreads, their images are either behind the scenes or previews from the movie- screenshots.
When choosing photos for my DPS I knew I wanted the main image to be from the morgue, primarily due to the fact it is our best scene in terms of cinematography and general aesthetic. The blue gel used over the lens also creates the perfect mood for the film- cold and dark, hence why it is also effective as a main image. The mise-en-scene and mood created also connotes the genre very clearly. I didn't want the image to be full or have a character in it as it's used as the background of the DPS.
I took inspiration from a few other double page spreads by the fact they used cartoon film reels to display more images from the film. I took a template of this from the internet and then watched back all of the footage, taking screenshots of some of my favourite shots. In the end I chose these as they ensured all of the characters/actors were shown off on the double page spread, and I also chose the photo of the detective holding the card as it's the serial killer's signature.
