The document discusses planning and taking a family photograph for a film project. The author decided on costumes for the characters, with the daughter in bright clothes and down hair, and the father in casual clothes instead of a suit. Makeup was applied to look natural for the daughter and "mummy-like" for the mother. The photograph was taken in front of the Christmas tree for lighting and tone. The author edited the photo in Photoshop, exaggerating bruises on the daughter's face with the clone stamp tool to fit the storyline while avoiding looking too fake.

Photograph in the lounge how i edited
1. After considering what sort of costumes and make up I wanted the characters to have, I decided to
have the daughter in bright clothing for the photograph for her hair to be down as well. I decided I
wanted the dad to be in normal casual clothing instead of the planned suit costume with the
briefcase. This is because I wanted the photo to be in front of the Christmas tree so that the
audience realise that it would have been a bit after this image was taken when the crime happened.
I started thinking about the make up what I wanted my female characters were going to be wearing,
as I said in the costumes and appearances post I want the girl to look like a natural average teenager,
and for the mother to be โmummyโ looking wearing a jumper and for her hair to be done and the
same with the makeup.
I allowed my mother to do my characters make up as my mum used to be a professional makeup
artist. We used make up such as eye shadows and bronzers to make this effect come to life. With the
2. camera and the lighting in the living room when I took the photo it did not show up as well in the
picture apart from the pictures with the flash.
Leading on from doing the make
up for the photograph in the
living room I decided to take the
photo in front of the Christmas
tree in the lounge. This brings
the lighting from the tree
forward and gives the image a
nice tone. I have decided to use
the second photograph that I
took with the flash on. This fits
more with the genre that I want
my film to be and also the
storyline as you can see the
bruise clearer on the characters
/the daughters face. Although
this picture makes them look a
happy family, the daughter also
has a sense of being
uncomfortable which shows
when she is leaning more
towards her mother than her
father.
3. I used Photoshop to edit the final
image that I wanted to use, I used the
spot healing brush and many other
things. I know how to use Photoshop
from looking at photography in my
BTEC Media and also by doing AS
Photography.
The bruises from the make up on
the girls face was not as obvious
as I wanted it to be so I decided
to use Photoshop to exaggerate
them. I used the clone stamp
tool. I thought this looked too
fake and too edited so I started
