1. Photo shoot plan
Lighting and Colour
I will try to use different levels of lighting and get a range of photos. I want to get
some photos that show the darker side of the film and
some of the opposite. For the darker photos, I will try to
use minimal lighting, but enough to see the character. I
can also edit the photos afterwards if they are too light
or too dark. One image that I want is of the main
characters face. It will be in a dark room with one
source of light coming from either above the actor’s
head, or behind the camera.For the antagonist I will
take a long shot of the actor, one photo in minimal
lighting and one with full lighting. I will then edit the
two images and merge them in the middle to create
and effect of two sides to the character.
Setting, Props and Character Positioning
One of the scenes I will use for photos would be at the barn, where there is some
rubble/debris around to show that it is abandoned. I can do this while/after
filming. I may be able to only shoot this during the
day if I want it to have full lighting, however at night
there are no sources of light there so
I will have to use my own sources.
This may make it
harder to get a
desired effect. The
actor/model will be
standing alone, with a

2. dead body behind them, which is easily visible in the photo. Another location will
be on the car park rooftop. This is an iconic scene from the trailer and will be a
good place to shoot. This will need to be shot at day so that it fits with the
continuity of the film. I will have the actor placed on the edge of the rooftop,
looking back at the camera.I want it to be similar to the photo shown here, but
have the actor facing the other way. I also may give the antagonist a weapon
for example a knife or something.
Costume and Make-up
The protagonist will need to either look smart and clean, or in the same clothes
however they are scruffy and dirty.There will be extras needed in a few of the
shots and they will need to be dressed appropriately, for example if its at a
crime scene, then they will need to be smart and look professional. The actors
that pretend to be dead will need to look beaten up. They will need some
makeup on if there face is visible, to make them look like
they have been dead for a while. This can be done by
making them look really pale, with clothes that have
dirt/blood stains and are torn. I will also make the
protagonist have a dirty look on his face with makeup.
Body Language and Facial Expression
I want the antagonist to smirk in most of the photos to
show his dark personality. He also need to stand
vulnerable, to show that he has a weaker side to him. The
protagonist however will need to look serious and mentally
strong. I want him to bee looking at the camera with a
straight face, looking angry. In another photo I also want
him to look like he is struggling.
