When taking the photographs for our Poster and Magazine, we done a photoshoot in which arranged with our models Amy and Megan. We took these photos in the green room. This photoshoot was useful as we were able to take several photos in which we had more choice of the most suitable images for our poster and magazine. We used a range of specialist equipment such as a tripod, DSLR camera, lighting to ensure our photos came out to a high quality and standard to reach the expectations of our target market and audience.
Models USED:

She is popular amongst her friends and college mates and fits in well with her family. After finding out her sisters deep dark secret, she exposes it to her religious mother. As a result of this, Lily takes out revenge on her sister and possess her using her spell book and makes Susan kill herself. (HOWEVER, AMY DID NOT PLAY SUSAN IN OUR TRAILER AS SHE HAD TO ACT IN ANOTHER GROUPS TRAILER, SO WE ONLY USED AMY FOR OUR MAGAZINE FRONT COVER AND WE USED SOMEONE ELSE TO PLAY SUSAN) |
Character Name: Lily
Played By: Megan Role In Our Trailer: In our trailer, Susan is presented as a sociable, outgoing teenager, unlike her introverted sister Lily. She is popular amongst her friends and college mates and fits in well with her family. After finding out her sisters deep dark secret, she exposes it to her religious mother. As a result of this, Lily takes out revenge on her sister and possess her using her spell book and makes Susan kill herself. |
Location:
We used this location for our photoshoot as we believed that we would be able to edit the photos easily. It was also easier for us to arrange and organise all of our equipment and models as its on our college premises.
Equipment Used:
The use of the camera was useful and effective when taking the images of our models. This is because of the different functions it can carry out such as focus and zoom functions. This is useful as we are able to capture our models faces and see the expressions on their faces. This is really powerful when building a scary and tense atmosphere for our images.
|
As the genre of our film is horror, the use of lighting is key to create a scary atmosphere. Furthermore, we have used lighting conventionally to create this atmosphere to create successful images which as a result would meet the expectations of our target market and audience.

PHOTOS TAKEN BY:
Photos we used:
We used these images as they were close ups and medium close ups of our models therefore these images would be able to show the expressions of their faces. This would successfully enable us to create the atmosphere were looking for. There is also a good use of shadows on their faces due to the lighting we used. We believed that these images would be successful when creating a scary and tense atmosphere for our audience and with the additional use of editing from software such as photoshop, we were able to develop these images further to also build up on this atmosphere.
PHOTOS WE DIDN'T USE:
We didn't use these images for several reasons. In these images, our models look very uncomfortable, and they wasn't ready for the images as they weren't looking directly at the camera and their body language and structure didn't look relaxed. Also, the angles of the shots wasn't suitable for the atmosphere we were trying to create.
