Dear Moderator,

Welcome to my A2 Media blog in which I show the stages I have been through in order to create my main product, a thriller film trailer titled "Eye Spy" along with two ancillary tasks, an "Eye Spy" film poster and a magazine front cover called "Uncut" which features my film trailer. You'll find all of these completed products directly below. My Research & Planning posts start in September and my Evaluation begins on March 11th.

I hope you enjoy,

Luke

Research & Planning: Editing My Magazine Photograph

Here is my photograph that I have already started editing.  I have added a duplication of the photograph over the top of the original, desaturated it of its colour and then used the 'Multiply' effect to make my original image much darker to give it a scarier feel.  I then used a mixture of the polygonal lasso tool and the eraser to delete the background on the duplicated layer to add depth to the image which contrasts well as it's quite bright.

 Due to the lack of make up for my photographs, I decided to photoshop some realistic cuts and bruises onto my photograph so that it links more to my film poster and trailer.  I took this image of a scab and used to 'Darken' effect and the eraser tool to blend it onto my photograph.

 I also added a black eye to my model with the brush tool set on a very low opacity because I didn't want it to look too severe as gore doesn't usually get included on professional magazine covers.

Here is my photograph at the moment with my masthead for my magazine cover.
