After selecting a few photographs that we liked as a group we each edited a photo on Photoshop. As I take Photography as a subject too I had quite a good understanding of the effects and tools you can use and tried to use as many as i could to create a realistic magazine cover photo. I changed the levels of the photo and the brightness and contrast which made the colours stand out more especially the warm orange glow that follows her movement. I erased any blemishes by using the spot healing tool but our model didn't have many so I didn't have to concentrate too much on this. I chose to work on this photo because I liked the outside shots the most because I felt that it looked more like a scene out of the film than the shots we took inside with a black background. In this photo I think that from her looking to her left makes it feel as if she watching out for someone and makes the audience interested to know what she is seeing. I also think her coat being off her shoulders adds to the character looking vulnerable and upset. However, it could also be seen as sexual so I think we wouldn't use this photograph as we don't want to portray the wrong story of our film through our photo. Another aspect i am not too keen on in the photograph is the fence behind her as even though it helps make her stand out it is a bland background but i do like the angle it creates in the photo. I think the photo looks well with the writing of the magazine over the top but as a group we have decided that we wont be using this particular photo but we all felt that by trying out different photographs helped us make our decision on the photo we will use and was beneficial to us to experiment with the different photos.
