Draft pictures

For our first draft images we took our actress to the woods and took different types of photos to her to see which ones we liked best and what poses and angles worked best to create a horror effect. We decided to take the pictures in the dark so we have an idea of how scary pictures we could make pictures look in the dark, we took it in turns using the camera to take the shots we wanted. None of these pictures have been edited on Photoshop, and next time I think it is a good idea to focus on costume and the actress' pose and how she is standing or sitting.

First image -

I think this would be a good image as it gives the idea of distortion and mystery, as you cannot see the actress' face properly. The blurred image adds interest, but i do not think it would be attractive on a magazine front cover as it would not attract as much attention as a striking image would. I like the darkness of the background and i think i would like a background like that on the next set of pictures that are taken.

Second image -

In the second image the same dark background has been used, but the trees are more visible in this which i like as it shows the audience where the setting is without giving too much away. I like the scared image on the actress' face and how is she looking to somewhere not visible on the camera as it shows something suspicious is happening that is not obvious. I also like the lighting on her face because it adds even more attention to her scared expression.

Third image -

I like this picture because you can see the woods behind the actress, which gives the picture a sense of mystery because no one knows whats's in the woods. You can see her clothing too which adds to her innocent look, and again her scared facial expression adds to the wonder of what's beyond the camera. Her holding onto the tree makes it seem like she needs something to protect her so it makes her seem helpless against whoever is following her.

Fourth image -

The fourth image has a dark background and you can only see the floor. The dark background is against the actress' back so she can't see behind her, this would make the audience think something is hiding in the blackness. She is looking down so this makes her even more innocent as she seems oblivious to anything going on. The way she is holding her hands together makes it seem like she is nervous about something. I really like this picture so i am definatly considering using it.

Fifth image -

The fith image is a close up of the actress looking beyond the camera. The close up means you can see the detail in her scared face, and you can also clearly see her holding her hand to the tree for protection. The mysterious background makes you think something could creep up behind the actress as she is not looking. I also like this image and i am also considering using this one.
