What image or images inspires your project?
The header image of this article is from The Red Shoes. It’s an amazing movie, and that image is one Chris McKay sent to his team before making Renfield. He talks about it on the No Film School podcast, where he says he wanted it to inspire actors not to hold back at all.
I thought this was great advice, and I wanted to explore it more here.
The hero image is often the first thing that people see when they encounter your film, whether it’s on a movie poster, in a trailer, or on a streaming platform. A powerful and memorable image can leave a lasting impression on your audience and draw them in to watch your film.
If you have one from another film, you can use it to inspire your own. You can set the mood for the cast and crew, and give them a tangible example of what they’re going for and why.
So, how can you pick which pictures completely inspire the project you’re working on?
