Final Project Planning - Chosen Photos for Design Tasks

These are the photos that were taken during the photo shoot on Wednesday. The ones below are the ones that were selected to be used in the design tasks due to them being of the highest quality so they can be edited for their purpose. Underneath each picture I'll put a brief description of what it will be used for to show how each one will progress into the finished product.

The 3 pictures above are all considered for the front magazine cover due it needing to show all 3 characters since each is essential to the story so one can't detract attention from another. The idea steamed from a conversation between me and Rachel when discussing what pictures we wanted to take and I said "I want something like the good, the determined and the crazy". It was because this pose captures all 3 of the characters in equal coverage and has this feeling of that all of them are connected with the two vampires being drawn to Rose for different reasons. Matt being his sense of duty to protect and Dacrual just wanting her for his personal gain. The two further to the top have more potential for possibly another poster in which all 3 are displayed so there would be one for each then a final group one similar to the Harry Potter posters to show that all 3 characters drive the plot.

These single figure photos are most likely going to be used for the single posters as to avoid the potential of detracting from character which was a problem uncovered in my pitch. These are simple poses that will allow for some simple but effective posters since it allows for greater editing to display each poster as how I envisioned it. I do have some more posed ones like Stephanie being bit in one of the photos which I intended to use for Dacrual poster like in my earlier post on poster designs but it displays two characters and not the other. Yet it does open the door to do double character posters like Dacrual biting Rose, Matt meeting Rose and Matt strangling Dacrual to give the audience more visually stimulating posters to look at.

These are the posed ones mentioned earlier and the idea of the double character posters is a more tempting idea to use as it opens the door to more varied creations and different editing potentials. It would help show the difference in relationships between the characters like Matt and Rose being on more civil terms but he hates Dacrual obvious from the choke hold he has on him. Then we see Dacrual attempting to feed on Rose to show how he just wants to use her for his own selfish needs, disregarding any interest in her life like Matt. I will have to do some designs over the half term and see which one looks better by posting them on my blog and letting people vote on which style of posters are better and if they agree with colour, posing, style etc.
