Here's what I've been working on. As a mentioned briefly in class, I wanted to create a unifying visual theme for each poster - but include all three movies on each...these are rough of course. I really like the idea of "The Kubrick Stare" which I believe has multiple meanings that work effectively in the posters. 1.Kubrick uses again and again the close-up or framing of eyes, mechanical and otherwise, in this films. Its jarring, eerie, and pulls the viewer into the character's thoughts. 2. Kubrick himself was said to have a "stare". Photos of him show his gruff and dramatic face as he peers into the camera - his eye like the lens of a camera. 3. Making the connections between the eye of the lens, the director's point of view, and audience watching. Maybe a working title for the series as I move forward - Look Again, something like that....

Erin,
I'm sorry I haven't posted anything until now. But I like " The Stare" concept and i think the Look Again idea could work. um, I'd like to see them in print. These two ideas need to look less similar somehow.
