Edited Photography

Photography for Poster and Review Page

Although I already have some shots of the setting of my film that I think would be effective in my poster and review page I decided to take some pictures of the characters in the film to give me some variation when deciding what shots to use. It was difficult to find a time to suit both cats members of my film but I did eventually and managed to get some good shots. I took some individual shots of the victim and the stalker focusing on the darkness which I think is one of the biggest conventions of the horror genre. I then took some shots of both characters in the setting for one of the scenes in the film. Once I have decided which shots I want to use I will use the same website as I mentioned in a previous blog post, picmonkey.

Editing Photography

My favourite site for editing images is picmonkey.com because I find it so easy to use and it offers such a wide range of effects and features for free. The website is clearly set out and allows you to adjust basic settings on an image such as cropping, rotating, brightness and contrast, you can give your image different filters, add borders and text and edit facial features. For my images I will be adjusting the basic settings to avoid an overly edited image and possibly adding a subtle filter to some.

Photography for Poster and Review Page

This is some of the initial photography that I have taken for my film poster and possibly to use in my review page as well. As it has been difficult to arrange a scheduled time to meet with the actor/actress from my film to model for the photography I wanted to try taking some images using the setting as the focus. I still might take some images of the actor/actress to try with the setting images in the future.

I am pleased with all of the images as I was unsure if it would look good with no models but I quite like it. I have used a range of shots, such as long shot, extreme long shot and medium shot. I think this gives a diverse choice for the final images that I choose to use. All of the images were taken at night which is the same time that my film was shot showing continuity in my products. I also like the variation between in focus, out of focus and blurry shots that I got and I think once I have edited the images I will be able to make a clear choice on which ones I want to use.
