Final Photo Selection Process

Having looked through all of the photos that I have taken I managed to select a variety of photos that I want to use for my magazine cover and my film poster. I have chosen these photos for a number of reasons which I will explain in this post. I hope that the photos that I have chosen will fit the theme and style that I plan to use.

 I decided to choose this photo as I felt it conveyed the conventions of the horror genre well and fitted in with the theme and style that I am trying to use. The photo will have to undergo some editing but I am confident that if I did use this photo it would work well.

 Although this photo is similar to the previous one I wanted to include a range of different camera angles in my final selection so that I would have more choice if I did choose to use this image. As with the previous image I feel like this photo would be good to use and would again be effective in delivering the different messages I want to create in my two designs.

 After sorting through my photos I decided to choose this photo because I felt it looked good and conveyed the themes of horror very well, the burnt effect I managed to create I feel has worked well and makes the image striking and allows it to fit into the conventions of the horror genre.

 This photo is similar to a number of the photos I have taken but as I have said before I wanted to try and have some variety. This photo was one of my favourites after the photo shoot because of the burnt ash effect that I managed to create. It fits perfectly with sinister effect I was aiming for and shows the power of the demon and its effect on the book once it has been unleashed on the world.

 These two photos were selected due to the difference in camera angles and the options they gave me, they are slightly darker than the other images as I was experimenting the effects of light and darkness at the time. The burnt effect is the same as the previous photo but the variety in camera angles allows me to present each of the images in a variety of ways. The Book which the main protagonist Summer fatefully discovers is a key element in Lacerate and helps to drive the story. Capturing the intimidating and sinister nature of the Book was one of my top priorities and I feel like these photos have essence of what I have been trying to procure.
