Second Shoot

To improve my film posters and magazine front covers as a group we thought it would be a good idea to take more photos of Kate and plan and structure the photos well so we got the out come we were looking for. We used the media suit in our school so we could use the green screen as it would be easier to edit the photos later on in Adobe Photoshop. To continue with the continuity we needed to make sure Kate was wearing the same clothes and had her hair up in the same way as she was in the previous photographs. We took it in turns taking images of Kate so we each had images we could use for our individual film posters and magazine front covers. These are the images I took for my film poster and film magazine front cover. In all of the images I have taken I turned off all the lights in the media suit apart from one so I could get a clear contrast of light to dark on Kate's face. This made her features stand out more, represents the contrasts of the normal and lovely beginning in the trailer to the creepy thrilling ending and also I would make it easier to edit later on.

This image is a mid shot of Kate looking to the left. Not having her face directly into the camera suggests to the viewer that she is looking at something or wary of something. This image it its self creates suspense as the viewer has no idea what Kate is looking at. The natural serious expression on Kate's face completes the idea of this image being for a horror or thriller film poster, if she was smiling and being happy it would fail the object completely of this being for a horror thriller film poster or magazine front cover.
This second image is taken from a slightly high angle of Kate from a side angle of her. Having her facing towards the light this time doesn't show all of her features in clear details, this also makes her face stand out and the first thing the viewer will notice is her face. Just like the previous photography Kate isn't look directly into the camera, this makes the viewer think that she was noticed someone, and having her looking into the light directly suggests to them that someone has noticed her as well.

The third is image is very similar to the second image, the only difference is I took the image on more of an angle and the contrast of light and dark isn't as obvious. This is because i moved the light out of the way so it wasn't directly shinning on her face. Doing so made her features clearly and having her on an angle looking away from the camera has the came effect on the viewer as the previous photographs.
In this photo I tried to take the image from a high angle which shows venerability and having it as a mid close up shot makes it easier to structure a magazine front cover and film poster around her face. Her face expression seems very concentrated, and having her looking away from the camera suggests to the viewer that she is looking on something fat away. This makes the viewer image what she could be looking at and along with the conventions of a film poster or a magazine front cover would make them imagine what the film is about.


This photography is set out differently to the rest of the ones I took. It is a mid shot of Kate where most of her body is seen in the photography and taken from straight on. With Kate still not looking directly at the camera give the viewer that confused feeling of what is she looking at, and the natural serious expression on her face suggest it's something shes not too sure of. Having an image of her from straight on gives the viewer a better idea of how old Kate might be and from them having a clearly image of her would allow them to have an instantly opinion on her and her role in the trailer.

This photography is a close up mid slightly high angle shot of Kate. I wanted to take the image from a slight high angle as it shows how vulnerable and innocent Kate is, doing so gives away part of the trailer plot to the viewer. This makes the viewer more interested in the poster and the trailer. With Kate looking away from the light, it only highlights part of her face keeping the other half in the shade. This contrasts represents the dramatic change in the teaser trailer where it changes from being a happy normal day for Kate to her being changed and followed by someone or something.





This photography is a mid close up shot of Kate at a slight right angle. This image is very similar to one of the previous photographs taken, just from the opposite angle. As Kate is facing towards the light the features on her face stand out a lot clearer and clearly show the serious expression on her face.
