2. I took several pictures of Dom.
I didn’t have too many ideas of how I wanted Dom to look. All I wanted Dom to do
was to represent ‘Schizophrenia’. I took several shots how showing different
emotions would work (seeing as schizophrenics are known for having a split
personality in which they express different emotions in almost a bipolar manner as
they can feel extreme happiness and one point and then hear voices that can
darken their mood.
3. I found that I few of them wouldn’t be appropriate for
either my film poster or magazine cover.
For the following reasons:
This is a picture of Dom’s
cheek. With this picture, I
was trying to take several
pictures of different areas
of the face but I don’t feel
that including a picture of
his cheek will in anyway
enhance my final image
for my film poster or
magazine cover.
This is a picture of
Dom’s entire face.
The main issue
with this image is
that the camera is
out of focus which
has meant that the
picture looks
blurry. I didn’t
want it to be blurry
as I felt that the
images had to look
as though they
were of ‘high
quality’ in order to
make them
effective when
being viewed.
The main issue with this
image is that I was attempting
to take a picture of the middle
section of dom’s face which
proved to be difficult as he is
much taller than me and
therefore I was stretching in
order to get to the
appropriate level to
photograph this area. BUT
because I couldn’t see the
camera screen properly I
ended up including his mouth
area within the image as well
and almost half of his eye
area. I have re-done this shot
and therefore, this picture is
no longer necessary.
4. Here are the images I will be using
for my magazine cover:
5. And Why?
I will be using
the shot but
halving it in
order the use
each image on
either side of
the image in
which Dom is
screaming.
6. And Why? I think this image
is good as it
expresses the
emotion of the
character that
Dom is playing.
7. I took inspiration from online sources such as YouTube:
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjM9Gl_MLyQ
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWYwckFrksg
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWiTqDeTY7E
These clips also helped me to gain a greater understanding of
Schizophrenia through the eyes of schizophrenia sufferers. This
meant that I could use the videos to structure my magazine cover to
reflect the mind of a schizophrenic.
I also took inspiration from seeing ‘The Woman In Black’ in theatre
where I gained some helpful information on colour usage.
