Shots

Basic ShotsThese were some of our first images taken. As shown they are not very good and the quality of some of the images are quite poor. We wanted both of the children Madeline and Elle to feature on the magazine front cover that is why the images of them standing next to one another were taken. Because we wanted to capture their innocence and purity that is why they are wearing white tops as white connotes these things. For our poster we then wanted to have one of the characters as the main image to dominant the frame; that is why we have taken images of them singly, we tried not to let them smile as we wanted them to look as serious as possible.

As one of our ideas for our magazine front cover we wanted to take a picture of the main antagonist looking in the mirror and then her reflection starring back at her but her reflection was possessed. But we found that this was not working and the image quality was very poor and blurred, the lighting also make the girls look very orange. Because of the reflection in the mirror we also found that whoever was taking the images got in the frame a lot of the time and this was very ineffective as the audience should not be seeing the crew members.

Another one of our ideas what to position the characters in the woods to show of some of the narrative as the woods is a vital stock location for the ending of our narrative. We wanted the main antagonist to look as if she was leading her sister into the woods to possess her, that is why one child is turning around looking at the camera as she is the main antagonist, and the other child is oblivious and is wondering into the woods. But we felt these images were not very good either, as the flash made the faces become too pale as well as the costumes not being very effective and not suit the scene.

For our magazine front cover we wanted the characters to look possessed and scary, so we tried to take images when both our characters looked possessed and were pulling scary faces. Because our characters were so young they didn’t quite get the idea of looking scary and their faces didn’t look realistic or scary enough. We found it quite hard to capture them looking possessed and we realised that these images were not very effective and both characters were pulling different faces and were then at different heights which made the images look obscure. Unfortunately we also got the background in some of the images such as the plug socket below so we knew that it would be very unprofessional to use these images.

Final

ImagesThese are our final images and shots taken. We felt these images were very effective. At first we had planned to use Melisa the blonde girl are Elle our main antagonist; but we felt Lily's facial expression were very effective and really captured the possessed look. We knew straight away that after editing these images that they would give us the quality and professionalism we were looking for, they fit the brackets we were looking for.

Again we kept them in the same white tops to show their innocence and purity. We also chose the picture of both of the characters for the magazine front cover as they both maintained eye contact with the camera and their facial expressions were plain which is what we needed to edit the image to become effective. The use of the blue bow in all of the images used, carries on the symbiotic link through our three pieces.
