Test shots for Magazine and Poster

As a group we decided to take shots for our magazine front cover and our poster to ensure that they are both relatable. I was the photographer for the shots so I tried different angles such as high angle by standing on chair and eye level. Sabrina and Atimango held some filters over the lighting to see if it would create and eerie effect. As a group we deliberated after every image as to what to do next and what types of shots we could take next that would convey our storyline.

For our shots we decided to have Miss Chapel's face with half latex and half normal this is to portray our storyline as our trailer is called ' PERCEPTION' having Miss Chapel's face with half latex of make-up questions what side is real and what side is fake which is the whole point of our trailer. We also decided to have Miss chapel in the white shirt with purple deep red lines and a black skirt as this connotes innocence but the lines on the shirt connotes danger or dried blood.

When looking into current posters and magazines most commonly there is use of a close up/mid shot this was something that I kept in mind when taking these images of Miss Chapel. As I was taking images my group and I were discussing how we would manipulate this images and test out our ideas. For example we had the idea to split Miss Chapel's body in half and have a gooey substance in the middle, or have Sydney in the middle of Miss Chapels split halves. This was an active way of discussing ideas as we then took shots according to those ideas we had generated between us.

Here is a video of shots taken:
