final photograph analysis

Paige Ward Horror Alice in Wonderland

Final photograph edits.

I chose 9 photographs out of my two Photoshoots, there was around 200 photographs taken altogether. I

edited each chosen photograph in 2/3 different ways to see how I like it best, the first photograph I

chose was the ‘Rabbit’ chasing ‘Alice.’

I chose this photograph because I think it shown both

themes I wanted my Photoshoot to be, which are horror

and fantasy. I also like the camera angle on this

photograph because I’ve hardly taken any which are a

long shot. I edited it in 3 different ways to see how I

like it best, I also wanted to try and make the

photograph look more ‘fantasy.’ The first edit I added a

filter and I think this looks really good and works well

because it does make my photograph have a fantasy look.

I also like how it looks like sunset when the photograph

was taken because it was a dull day. The second

photograph I just simply made it black and white, it does

work well but I think it looks boring compared to my first edit. The third photograph I also made black and

white but I made the Rabbit and Alice in colour, I think the last two black & white edits don’t look as

professional as my first edit. I am going to use my first edit because it’s my favourite edit and photograph

out of all of my photographs and I also think it’s edited in a professional way.

The second photograph I chose was one of Alice in the studio

holding the cup, I chose this because I like the composition of the

photograph. Also I like the angle, even though it’s straight ahead

how Alice is placed looks good. All three of these edits are very

similar and I think they all work well because they make it obvious

what theme/genre’s I was trying to achieve. Even though I do think

both photographs look good with the ‘red eye look’ I do prefer the

edit without the red eyes. My favourite photograph out of these

three edits is the one without the red eyes because it shows my

theme well without it being obviously edited, I am going to use this

edit in my final photographs.



The third photograph was one of the studio photographs of the ‘Mad

Hatter’. I didn’t like the photograph to start but it is my favourite out of

all the photographs of the Mad Hatter. Once I edited it and gave him the

green eyes I think looked good but it only shows the Alice in Wonderland

theme in my Photoshoot. I like

the composition of this

photograph I think it works well.

There was a photograph online of

the Mad Hatter where he had

this facial expression, so I

wanted to make my photograph

like the one I researched about

but make it my own. I think the

edit in colour doesn’t look

professional, and I also think it

looks too bright when it’s in

colour. Out of these three edits

I’m going to use the one on the left for my final edited

photographs.

For my final photographs I only chose one prop photograph

because they was all similar and I didn’t want repeated or almost

identical photographs chosen. I liked all three of these edits

and I found it hard deciding which one I wanted so I asked

other people aswell. I like the angle of this photograph and also

the composition. The photograph also has a depth of field which

makes it look more professional. My two favourite are the black

and white and the one on the left side, because I think these

too look a lot more professional than the other. The other one

was a rushed edit and even though I do like it I think it could be

improved a lot. I ended up choosing the left photograph to use

for my final edits because like some of the others I’ve chosen

they have the slightly same filter and I’ve found this adds the

‘fantasy’ theme into my photographs more.



Another photograph I chose was one of the Mad Hatter in the

studio, this photograph was taken more naturally than the rest of

the ones I chose, while he was talking/ throwing party poppers in

the air I was taking photographs and I think this shows his ‘mad’

side. I edited this photograph in two different

ways, my favourite is the one on the left top

because of his eyes, it isn’t obvious from far away

so I cropped the photograph down to see his eyes.

On the other photographs the eyes look edited

but when the photograph is large and far away his

eyes look like bright green contacts and I think

this shows the fantasy theme to my photographs.

I also think this photograph looks more

professional than the other edit.

The next photographs I edited are the ones of Alice drinking the ‘drink me’

bottle, I chose this photograph to edit because I wanted to relate the

photographs to the film as much as I could but change it in ways aswell. I

also think this photograph shows both of the themes I was trying to

achieve horror and fantasy. Two of these edits are very similar because

I’ve pulled the entire colour out of them, the only thing that I did

different was add a yellow and red over the top of the photograph I’ve

chosen and I think this works well and professional. The third photograph

I edited which is in colour is my least favourite because I think it’s too

bright and could have been edited in a better way and more professional.



The seventh photograph I chose was when Alice is slightly behind

the tree, I chose this because I think it shows how Alice is lost

and scared because she looks curious and is looking at something

while trying to hide behind the tree so she doesn’t get caught. I

took a variety of photographs like this but this was my favourite,

my favourite edit is the one on the left because I think it looks

more professional than the others, also because of her eyes it

slightly shows the ‘horror’ theme. I also

like this photograph edited in black and

white but I do prefer the other. For

the last edit I kept it in colour and

messed around with the colours on the

photograph, I don’t think this works

well because of how green the three

looks, I also think the photograph

doesn’t look professionally taken and

edited.

The next photograph I chose is one of my favourites out of both Photoshoots, I also like both edits that

I’ve done. The first edit I changed it black and white and added red eyes and I do like this photograph but

when the photograph is large it looks slightly unprofessional and also slightly over edited. For the second

edit I added a filter and used the blur tool, I think the blur works well in this photograph and this was the

main reason why I chose that one out of both edits. I don’t think it shows both of my themes though,

especially not horror. The photograph is obviously Alice in Wonderland though because of how she is

dressed and also because of the prop in her hand.



The last photograph I chose was one in the woods, I

didn’t like this photograph to start but I think it shown

both of my themes better than the rest of my

photographs. Also I haven’t included the rabbit in many

photographs so I thought using another would be a

good idea. I edited two photographs the same expect I

darken the edges one the one I’ve chosen, and I’ve also

added a slight violet tint into the photograph. My least

favourite is the one in colour because it looks too

colourful and dark in certain areas because I darkened

the shadows and highlights. I think this photograph

looks least professional than the other two. I am going

to use the one on the left for one of my final edited

photographs because I like the angle and composition

of the photograph and also the violet tint.
