The lighting is soft which gives a good level of quality and brightness. I think that the photo with the flash makes the photo look less professional, and rather just a picture being taken on any day – the value of the natural sunlight and softer lamp background light works better.

Out of these photos, I like the last two the most. This is because the quality is the highest and the facial expression seems more natural rather than posed. There is a greater look of contemplation compared to the first three.

I tried to take some images as long shots so that I could test out one of my drafts. It was difficult to decide the right angle and to decide what the actor should be doing (e.g. suggestions of hands by side/twiddling of thumbs). I think the third image works best as he looks more intimidating (gives a sense of foreboding of his reality) due to the low angle. I do not think I will use any of these pictures in my film poster or in my

review. This is because the choice of clothing doesn’t look ‘professional’ and the angle was difficult to give an appropriate view. The closer images work better for a sense of emotion.

From the first slide, the last image worked best. Therefore I used this part of the room for the best lighting we had found and the same angle as it was propped up appropriately to give an eye-level, intimate shot. I used the zoom to make the focal point his facial expression - I feel that this was beneficial and I will be likely to use this.

A side view of my character would be useful for film posters. This could signify a police line-up, or his vulnerability that we can see all sides of him. I also think that this would be conventional of film posters design and therefore would draw attention.

The second image from the second row is probably my favourite out of the images from this slide due to the angle and positioning of my actor. He is close but still gives space.

I took some images on a separate day. I feel that these have more sharp and dramatic lighting however lower quality as they are taken on a phone rather than a camera. It is also questionable whether they will be useful due to the logo on the hoodie – I may look into editing this out and making it fully black.

I took some pictures of my female character as this would draw attention to the romantic side of the film, attracting perhaps female audiences as they have a higher chance of relating to someone of their own gender. Having a shot similar to the ones of my male character would be the most effective.

I took some images during filming the flashbacks. This would be effective as the audiences, when reading the review, can get an insight into the setting and context of the film. I wanted to have some ‘natural’ images so that there is a higher emotional attachment to the characters rather than ‘artificial’ shoots.

These photos have much better lighting and the facial expression is more appropriate in relation to the themes of the film. I am more likely to use these in my poster or review.
