Editing Photographs

As part of making both the poster and the magazine editing pictures is key to making the final product.

Original Photograph

A filter is used to brighten colours. Each cast member has a distinct colour which is shown in their clothing. Which will help the audience familiarise with the characters in the film.  

The photograph has been desaturated, which reflects the mood of the story line which is not so pleasant.

         Instead of desaturating all the colour, a red/brown filter is used. In one of my research examples this has been used and it again is used to set a mood.  

Adjustment to Plot

After a few filming shoots we decided to alter the plot a bit, and narrowed down the focus on certain members of the two rival groups. This helped us practically when organising shoots but more importantly when conveying emotion which is key to our film.

Creating the first draft

I wanted to start the trailer with a series of establishing shots, so that audience can get a feel of where the film set and the type of film it is. Beginning with a grave stone is a very strong statement and I will help captivate the audience immediately. 

  

 During the course of the trailer I want to add a black screen. This would add suspence to it to, the audience would want to watch more.

Adobe Photoshop

    To desgin our film poster and magazine cover we are using this programme. Through Photoshop we can add text, use effects to change the look of the photograph. Using this particular programme helped our original photographs reach the level of our research examples. Applying different effects to the poster and cover can help set the mood of the product we advertising. For example our film is based on rough inner city life, so dark grim colours will be included in our ancillary tasks.
