Poster #1
Our movie, A Botched Internet depicts just how much people care a lot more about being socially accepted on the Internet than being socially accepted in real life. To capture that in the image we choice a moment in the story when main character Carter chose show how greatly social inacceptance began to effect him, the moment when he kills himself from self hate. Carter felt as though that if he did not have approval on the Interweb, his family, and eventually from himself he was not worth much alive. This scene in this poster really sets up the idea of how he was hurting himself by letting those words get to him. From a viewer’s perspective it intrigue them and makes them wonder, “Why is this man covering his face?” and “Why is he hitting a mirror to the extent that he is bleeding?” it sets up in their minds an effect and to see the cause they have to go see the movie.

Poster #2
This poster portrays a pivotal moment towards the end of the movie; Carter’s face being seen through the mirror and he hits it multiple times. The image represents the three major factors that destroy Carter in the end. The first is social media; seen throughout the picture multiple social media icons are scattered in the refection, it shows what he has become and how they have added themselves so deeply into his life they have become apart of him. The second is surgery, not only is his current refection a result of the surgery the different breaks in the mirror are meant to resemble the Langer's lines used by doctors to make incisions on the face, it is to show the simplicity of breaking down someone’s looks and reshaping them as the mirror does to his reflection. Finally there is personal acceptance; Carter broke his reflection out of self-hate intern making himself much uglier to the world, the braking of the mirror itself is meant to show how the more self hate you have the more disgusting you seems to others. These are the ideas behind the second image and how all these aspects come together to break this one man.
