KEY PHOTOGRAPH No 1

My initial intentions for this photo was to a a dark image as my main background for my poster and DVD cover. I felt that one of these photos would fit the bill for what I wanted. The main idea of of the Film is that it is going to be dark but over all an action film. I originally was going to have a black background but after taking these photo's I thought they fitted better with the theme. I didn't resize the image because because I felt the image didn't need it.

I chose this photo because out of the photos I took it came out the best. Compared to the other photos I could see that I could adjust it to create a great image. I used this photo as the background for my poster and DVD cover.

For this photo I didn't  do a lot of adjusting because I felt it didn't need it. The only adjustments I did was to darken the whole image with the brightness and contrast tool then brighten the oranges and yellows with the colour balance tool in the photo.

My opinion on the final image is that it looks really good and suits the rest of my poster and DVD cover images. I feel this photo worked a lot better then a plain background would because it gives a lot more depth to the DVD cover.

I feel the rain drops image is needed because and adds to the whole product. I believe this because it looks really affective with the fist in the poster and the DVD cover. The colours match the rest of the product and give a clear idea to the viewer that its going to be an action thriller rather than a comedy which would more likely use lighter colours.
