First Photoshoot...

Green/White Shoot:
Today I used the green/white screens for the first photoshoot of the project! It was more for practice than anything else as I had never taken photos using the green/white screens before. As I had completed my research and planning for my first ancillary task: Billboard Design I was well prepared for the session and took around thirty photographs of Melissa. 

Here are three of my favourite images:

I like this photo's dramatic pose and the fact that Melissa makes eye-contact with the camera. This should be effective as the tour poster's key image as it is able to grab the audience's attention.

Melissa's pose in this image could be useful if the design called for an image to wrap text around. It could be good to use as it takes up the majority of the page yet allows enough room for essential copy.

Initially I liked this image as the finger pointing grabs attention as the same way the eye-contact does. It just looks quite different from any other image I have seen. However, I later found that it would be unsuitable to use for my ancillary tasks as the pose is quite straight up and down and her face isn't very clear.

However, if the group decides to have another green/white screen photoshoot, I would suggest that we rethink Melissa's choice of costume as it has proved very difficult to edit on Adobe Photoshop! Though all in all, I was very happy with the shoot's outcome.
