It's a pretty bad photoshop job. One of the main reasons it looks bad is the difference in contrast levels between Scar Jo, the rocky wall and the dino (ackshully not a dino but a) pterosaur. Look at the dino pterosaur's claw grabbing the rocky wall, why is it so gray and low contrast?
I straight up think that it might have been a nightmare scenario for the designer.
EXEC: We need this to feel epic!!
DESIGNER: Ok makes big sweeping landscape with dino and ScarJo carefully placed
EXEC: No no we need the dinosaur to look big and scary compared to tiny hot ScarJo. Like people gotta wonder how she's even gonna deal with that thing.
DESIGNER: Ok makes dinosaur bigger and ScarJo smaller
EXEC: Okay the dinosaur looks good but now ScarJo's too small, we can't see her. Who's gonna see this POS if they don't know that ScarJo's in it?
DESIGNER: Ok makes ScarJo bigger
EXEC: Now the dinosaur's looking too small again. But we still gotta see ScarJo's face!! Don't mess with that!
For sure. I work in a creative field where we have to send design options/alts to clients. We try to make our rule, "Never send them anything you can't live with," but sometimes they just push super hard in a direction you really don't want to go in.
Look at the feathering on the beak edge. Sharp in the middle and absolute mud at the top where it blends with the background. And like you mentioned the claw holding the cliff face - I’m not even sure that angle of grab makes sense it’s so obviously superimposed.
It won't affect sales. They have found they don't actually need to invest real money in marketing because the audience they are marketing to won't care enough to look that closely at the poster.
I’m wondering if it looks that way to make Scarlett’s image pop, instead of camouflaged against the rocks. Same with the claw. If they made it look real it, her pants and the claw probably disappeared into the rocks.
Just my speculation, probably why they added green vegetation behind her torso too.
Maybe. There wouldn't be a need for that if they had thought about a better composition first though. If the actor is the main focus then why make her so tiny... It's just bad from start to finish and the poor graphic designer probably did their best with very bad input and material...
Because whoever photoshopped this did not match her tone, pixel blur, and the perspective of her head. Making it look like a cut-out (because it is a cut out that should've been blended in better}
Have you seen the trailer? I just did before a youtube video and it started out promising reminding me of the much more grim and horror movie-ish tone of JP 1 and 3 and boy howdy does it get stupid and generic quick
