With this first photo I simply changed the eye colour to a more intense green colour. The eyes are a key focus point to this photo so my aim was to try and draw as much attention to them as possible. From this idea I also darkened her eye lashes. however, I feel I wasn't getting the desired effect. After taking the focus off the eyes I then looked at the lips and wanted to create a bright red colour to stand out. After changing these few things I was disappointed with the look and almost scratched the whole idea. I came to the conclusion that I liked the eye colour and the style of darkening the eye lashes but it had to be more extreme for fit our film genre.
These two last photos show the last stages of the final look I was going for. The photo on the left looked good and I loved the black and white style, whilst keeping colour still in the frame. However, I knew I wasn't totally happy with the photo. I still liked the eyes but still needed more focus and I felt the lips began to look tacky and unprofessional. So from this I knew I had to go further and really embrace horror and look at lots of other horror images to come up with the final look seen on the right.
I blacked out all features I felt important and took out unneeded focus like the shirt. I felt once that was taken out it draws more attention to the face and was pleased with this idea. I also decided the black out the lips and only keep the colour in the eyes. I feel this works very well and was starting to creative my desired effect. The best part of this photo and the decision I was most happy about was the over-the-top make up added through the burn tool. After this was done I was really excited about the look of the photo and it started to reflect our genre and our film. Once I done this I then showed my group my work and asked others in the class several different styles of the final photo with only small changes and the one you see on the right was the most popular photo and from this point will hopefully be used in out marketing for our film. Even if this is not used in our final coursework I will feel happy that I done it because I established a style and a look of our protagonist, also giving me an insight of the synergy that may be created through our film trailer and style that might be directly linked. -Dan.
After Dan showed is his edited protagonist profile, I decided to take one and play around with it myself. I took the paint brush tool, and shaded in the entire eyeballs of the profile. This automatically made the profile scarier, thus fitting in with the horror theme. Dan's edited black lips also add to this effect, and all the black areas, the eyes, eyebrows and lips, all coincide with each other. - Emily.
