Thumbnail Research and Development

 This is our thumbnail research and development for our documentary. The research was done by Arnold, as for the development, I did the work.

RESEARCH (Arnold)

The thumbnail above is half an image of a child in black and white and half an image of a grown man with the title, "Making a murderer" in bold. I think the title and the image works together to imply how a seemingly innocent child, could turn into a ruthless maniacal murderer. I think my team could take the mirroring contrasting image idea and input it into one of our sketches. 

The thumbnail above shows a feminine silhouette with a masculine figure overlaying her head alongside the thumbnail “Worst EX Ever”. I think this implies how the male figure presumably her ex boyfriend, invaded her life in a bad way and made it hard for her to escape him since he is always in her head. I think the gothic, gritty, disturbing tone of this thumbnail could be implemented in our thumbnail since  it is similar to our ideas. 

The thumbnail above shows a mirrored image contrasting between two person whom I believe is the same person, the other half of the image is a woman overlayed with red tint which connotates evil, paired with the ominous title “what Jennifer did” it leaves the audience wondering if she aka “Jennifer” did something bad. I think we could take inspiration from the title and how the image is set up.
