KEY PHOTOGRAPH No 3

My initial plan for this shot was to have a depth of field shot for the back of my DVD cover. I chose to take this photo at this angle because I felt it showed a clear idea of what was happening in the scene. You can see the hand holding the gun and a victim in the distance. I wanted to show danger and to tell the viewer that this was going to be a action thriller because without this shot it would be as clear look at all the photos.

I chose this photo because I saw potential. I originally was going to have two separate shots and then combine them later. However when it came round to it I decided it would look cleaner if I took them together. I felt this photo didn't need the most editing so when it came to the editing process I didn't need to adjust it as much as the others.  

When it came round to editing this photo I didn't feel it needed cropping. Look at the photo I felt it showed enough but not to much to need to cut off any. On the colour side of it I could see that it needed it brightening significantly so I adjusted the exposure to allow the hand and gun to standout and to make the person in the background to be clearer. I Played around with darkening the edges but decided against it because it looked to over adjusted.

I was significantly happy with the final. I felt that it was powerful and gave the viewers a strong idea that my film was going to involve action and violence. I felt the colours looked natural and real. My main target was to to make it look like it had just come from scene in the movie and I feel thats exactly what it looks like.

I feel this photo fit well with the rest of the design and the colours matched perfectly. The main purpose of this photo was to give the viewers the idea that it would involve action and violence and I feel that is what this photo brings to the project. This photo is the only picture that gives that impression so that made it even more significant. I only did one of these types of photos because I didn't want to over push the idea.
