The document describes the process of editing several photos for a film project. For the first photo, the artist drew red squiggly lines as a background and used smudge tool to blend it. They emphasized bruises and cuts on the main image using a low-opacity paint brush. The second photo involved creating a white and gray background and adding a blood stain effect. Levels and exposure were adjusted on the main image. The third photo required coloring in and adding details to a chair. Shadows and blood stains were added to subsequent backgrounds. The final photo focuses on a child's shoe and knife to hint that children are involved in the murders.
2. For my first Image, I
used photoshop to
draw red squiggly
lines roughly to
create the
background. I then
used the smudge tool
to blend this all in and
give it a more bloody
effect.
3. I then went on to editing the
main image. I used the paint
brush tool and put the
opacity on roughly 15%, to
use to colour under her eyes,
bruises and cuts. I wanted to
emphasis the colour a bit
more so that it would stand
out. However using the
brush tool to emphasis the
bruises and cuts made it look
really fake, so I had to use a
low opacity to make it seem
more natural.
4. This is the completed
look for this photo. I
can possibly use this
for my film poster or
magazine front cover.
The reason I have
done it in this
perception where the
mysterious man
behind her is holding
the knife as well as
holding her arm, is to
show that she has
been controlled by
Kieran. In a way he is
threatening her and so
it hints to the audience
of the narrative.
5. For my Second photo, I
created a different
background. I used the
paint brush in a large
size to create the white
effect in the middle, and
then used a smaller
brush in a grey colour to
create the shadow
effects on the side. To
create a blood stain
effect i used a different
brush to use to make
the red effect.
6. I then went on to
editing the main
image, by using the
Levels function to
create contrast and
exposure. This
made the black
objects in the
picture more darker
so that her wounds
would stand out.
Next I erased the
background and
then copied this
image onto my
background that I
created.
7. This is the second
final photo. In this
one I have created
a perspective of
Lyra holding the
knife. However
Kieran behind her
is still holding onto
her which shows
he is controlling
and manipulating
her. It allows the
audience to get a
hint of what the
storyline is like.
8. For my third picture for me to edit, I had to Colour
in the chair. This was because the chair was see
through and it didn't look as if she was sitting on
anything. What i used was a brown paint brush to
paint the chair in, as well as using a spray paint in a
darker shade to create a wooden effect. I also had
to use the polygonal tool to draw a corner of the
chair on, as I had made a mistake by taking the
photo at an angle where it got cut off.
I also edited the
picture by using the
exposure, saturation
and contrast setting to
make it more dark and
for the wounds to
stand out.
9. This is the final photo edited.
I forgot to take screenshots
of how I edited the
background. But what I did
was similar to the image
previously. I used painted
the sides black to create a
shadow effect and then used
a red spray paint to give the
appearance of blood stains.
This perception is a more
obvious one to the audience.
We can tell that She is the
main killer as she is holding
the knife and none is behind
her. Therefore with this the
audience wouldn't know
about Kieran.
10. This is another photo
I wanted to edit as an
option for my film
poster. I used the
black large sized
paint brush in the
opacity of 25% to
paint around the
edges of this image
to create a shadow
effect so that all
emphasis was on the
knife and shoe.
11. This is the final photo.I
used the levels function
to create more contrast
and exposure. I also
painted on some fake
blood onto the shoe.
This perspective shows
that the murders involve
children as the shoe is a
child’s shoe rather than
an adults. This could be
giving a different hint to
the audience on the
narrative.
