Post Production

This image was taken infront of a green screen, to make the editing process easier. I experimented with this picture, creating multiple examples of review ideas.

With this image I had the idea to manipulate the shadow and tone of the image. I converted the colour tone to sepia, portraying an 'old-fashioned' effect. Furthermore the sepia tone distorted the quality of the image, emphasising the old style effect I was trying to achieve.
The main issue with this image was the photo wasn't taken on a blank background. Therefore editing was difficult when selecting and manipulating the image. I had to black out the entire background and remaster the position of objects.
This was our final chosen image to use for our magazine front cover. We decided as a group this was the most effective and neat image for a magazine cover. I managed to manipulate this photo, by adjusting the brightness, contrast and tone of the image. Furthermore I added the title of the cover and placed it behind the character, similar to the 'Empire' magazine.

  1. The last one certainly has the appearance of a posed studio shot that film front covers generally favour. Have you thought about any possible connotations of the environment and shadow?

  3. Very effective images, and a good use of lighting, the photos are professional and show a good inspiration from Gran Torino. The photos clearly show the film is about a man's career concerning music whilst the man is seen, dressed well and neat.
    Perhaps you should update the blog with the images after being edited so we can see the results.

  4. Very effective images have been taken here, i like the idea of the third image where Jimmy is looking into the light, almost as if he has an idea in his mind of where he is heading.
