Final Photo Analysis - Photo 5

I chose this photo because I wanted to capture depth of field in this photo (blurry foreground , clear background) and it was captured perfectly.

I also wanted to use the rule of 3rd to make the image mirror itself so the centre point of the frame is empty and the real subject is left mirrored to right.

With this photo I wanted to use the opposite of distortion , I wanted the photo to be clear and have an exaggerated colour palette to help to match the feelings of the person in the photo.  To give a fever like feel to the photo by over contrasting the colour orange in photo.







The final product turned out very well , on the DVD cover it helped to give the thriller/mystery feeling to the whole project which I was looking for.

I have chosen this photo because I wanted to capture the sunlight in between the 2 buildings and out of all taken this one captured the sunlight the best.





In this photo I experimented with different settings  (threshold , contrast etc) but the final edit that made it fit into the poster was black and white because it gave the sunlight a water like factor. When changed to black and white it looks like the sky is spilling into the building which again helped to reinforce the theme of the poster being very dark and mysterious.

On the final product most of the sky was cut off but the reflections of the windows blended in with the white very nicely making it seem like the building never really ends.

I wanted this to be one of the main DVD back covers because it showed in one picture the whole environment the project was going to be set in.

It captured in one photo everything i wanted to show just an average typical sixth form.






The added threshold theme changes the whole perspective on how you see the sixth form , it gives it a very hallucinogenic feel to it which again helped with fitting the cover into a dark/mystery theme. The path from the centre of the photo extends into the background which in threshold effect gives the sixth form a very abandoned like theme which helped to make the photo fit into the DVD box.

On the final product a shadow silhouette was added to the photo to give it a bit of a creepy like factor which worked very well with the blacked out windows helped to boost up the scary factor which I wanted but i didn't want to over use it so that was the only modification made when it comes to adding creepy factors.

Also I have put the special features and the story bars which on the whit background really fit the whole DVD box as a whole.

Final Photo Analysis - Photo 2

I knew I wanted a contrast of an urban structure on one side of my character and a rural like scape on the other to show contrast linking to the theme of split personality in characters. This photo perfectly combines both rural and urban aspects of the college.









In the edited version i decided to get rid of the large portion of buildings and just leave the rural aspects in the frame.

After applying the threshold effect to give picture a graphic novel like feeling it also made trees seem like people or something abstract coming from the nearly pitch black windows.

Combined with the other elements of the poster , it bring a great contrast between the glass building on the right and the sky and the trees on the left it helps to establish/hint to split personality aspect the project would of had.

Final Photo Analysis - Photo 1

I have chosen this photo because the body language presented in it is very clear and has a negative connotation which is exactly what I wanted a the photo to be.   









I added the threshold effect in photoshop to give the picture a graphic novel like feel to it. I wanted the picture to be distorted and not crystal clear ,  I wanted the viewer to have a second look to make out what the picture really is.
The threshold effect also narrows the colour palette of the photo to be only black and white which means once modified and put into the poster further changes and adjustments could be added to make it fit into the poster more as a whole.

The final product has full filled its purpose in the poster very well. The negative body language and the distorted threshold effect give the photo a very mysterious and negative feeling. Once combining the photo with two other ones in the background there was an accidental like aura from the the photo that really put the whole poster together.  The threshold effect simplified the colour palette which meant I could put in the MUTRIX barcode to really help to make the poster stand out.
