The document summarizes edits made to images for a horror storyboard about a female serial killer. Key edits included changing images to black and white, adding red spots or brush strokes to highlight victims, and cropping out reflections. The editor notes they aimed for a sinister black and white theme but acknowledges inconsistent red shading between images could be confusing. Lessons included maintaining a higher level of consistency across edits to improve the realism and clarity of the storyboard.

2. Although my team followed the storyboard given to us we did adapt the
storyline so that it would be more interesting.
These are the key points in which we added to the storyboard:
•Changed the main character from a male to a woman
•The woman was a prostitute preparing the death of her next woman
•She has recently killed a previous victim
•Her current victim walks in on her preparing a gun
•This is where the audience realise what she does and how her next victim is
going to die
My role within the team was to edit the images taken using Photoshop. I
chose this role within the group because I felt that out of the people in my
group I was more interested with the technical side of the project. As well as
this I also designed the presentation in which the images would be viewed on.

3. This is one of the images that I edited using Photoshop. One theme throughout
the presentation is black and white. This is because due to the fact that the
genre of this project is horror I felt that black and white would create a more
sinister effect.

4. In order to edit this image I
first opened it in Photoshop.
Due to the fact that the
theme I chose for this project
was a black and white
theme, I then had to change
the image to black and white
by:
• Selecting “image”
• Then “adjustments”
• Then black and white.
As a result of this the image
changed to black and white.
However this image is an
important image within our
story board as it is supposed
to represent blood therefore
although I was following a
black and white them I still
had to create blood on top of
this image.

5. I then selected “Filter” and chose to
“liquify” which would allow me
blend red paint on top of the image.
This is the second step in which I
took, where I used “liquify” to blend the
colours together which enables them to
look almost as if they were part of the
image as appose to simply painting on top.
This brush allowed me to blend the colour
together creating a blurred effect.
This is the final step in which I took to
create a more realistic looking blood.
What I did was darken the red so that
the colour changed from a bright red to a
more sinister type of red creating a
believable effect.

I have changed this image slightly by simply cropping , changing it to black and white
and also adding a red brush stroke to the image. I have done this to highlight that the
next victim has been targeted so that the audience know he is about to be killed
which creates tension and horror emphasising the genre.

7. In order to edit this image I
simply opened it up in
Photoshop.
•I then also changed it to black
and white.
• However when I was doing so
I noticed there was a problem
with the image in which
members of my teams
reflection were in the tap.
• As a result of this I then
cropped the image so that this
was no longer visible.

8. Regarding this image because the victim has
been allocated I decided to highlight him by
the use of a red spot which created a
sinister effect as that is all that is
highlighted within the black and white
image.
Due to the fact that the image is reflected in
the mirror I also had to ensure that the red
spot that I created was also reflected in the
mirror.

9. This is another image that I edited. I also
changed this to black and white and used
the same blurred red effect on this image
as I have done on the others.

10. These are all the images that I simply turned to black and white:

11. Reflection
In doing this project I have learnt a lot about my role within the team. For example when editing
the images on Photoshop although I have kept a theme of black and white throughout and used
a red spot to illustrate the important aspects of the image, I think that there could have been a
higher rate of consistency regarding the red spot. Although I was creative using a red spot, I still
think that the shade of the red was not consistent throughout which could have been quite
confusing for the audience therefore making the storyboard look less realistic.
Although this was the
same image but different
shot, there was not a lot
of consistency regarding
the colour. For example
this red has been
darkened whereas this red
hasn’t. As well as this I
think that I have blended
the paint a bit too much.
