Extra Poster Research By Matthew Helliwell

A Beautiful Mind is a film, like ours, which uses a form of schizophrenia as a topic. Early in the film John forbes Nash (the main character) contracts paranoid schizophrenia early on in the movie and this interferes with his life and his family. Nash also refuses to take his medication.

These are similarities to our movie where our film uses a form of schitzophrenia, but instead of refusing to take her medication, Lucy simply forgets to take them. We also see how it affects the people around her, most importantly her mother.

The poster for this movie is even more relavent to our film because the lighting used on Russel Crowes face is darkened on one side. This shows us that there is something wrong with him or there are maybe two sides to this person. Also i like the effect of the shadow seen in the background amist of a blur of colours, this would be a great affect to use for our film poster as the character Emily-Jayne is not real and a figment of Lucy's mind, therefore could be represented by a shadow or something else that is not whole.
