KEY PHOTOGRAPH No 5

My initial intentions for this series of photos was to have it as one of my back cover photos for my DVD box. I originally liked the idea of this photo because it gives the idea of action and danger within my film. I was going to cut out everything in the background, including the body and then put in a sky. This was to give the idea that the guy was holding onto a ledge far above the ground.

I chose this photo because I felt it would look the most realistic for the purpose I needed it for. For this photo I wanted it to look like the guy was hanging of the edge of a building, and I felt the way the fingers were in this picture looked the best. I thought this photo would be suitable for the back of my DVD box because I wanted to give the viewers the idea that there will be action involved in my film.

For this photo I didn't do many adjust because I felt I wanted it to look natural. My first adjustment was to crop out any unwanted space, so I closed in on the top and sides. This made the shot seem more cinematic. My second adjustment was to change the colour. I felt this frame would look best in black and white.

I felt with the picture in black and white it made the shot that much more effective. I like how with the majority of the top of the photo cropped off it makes the shot look very cinematic. I felt the lighting in the original photo was very bright so with the photo in black and white it works with the idea that he is hanging off the top of a building.

After much consideration I felt that the photo wouldn't work well with the other photos on the back of my DVD box. So after the editing process I decided to not use the photo in my final poster or DVD box.
