I'm going to my prom on the 9th of may, with this movie and the fact that its all about prom this next while, I used it as my tag's inspiration. T.I. Rapper, in a prom/party style formal outfit, and then the girl from the poster...I tried to make it erie and all but hmm..you tell me.
I took some away and it looked way too basic. I needed that eerie effect and without those effects I didn't have it. Hmmm. :S
The problem is, when you sharpen the background very much, the attention draws away from the focal. So either it looks basic or your focal is not really there.
