Trial and Error- Camera angles

In order for me to shoot the tracking shot of Lilie's feet I had a lot of difficulties that I had never thought of before, when I was on location for this shot I noticed the the ground was very uneven and would cause the footage to be very shaky.  In order to resolve this problem I went to find some material to put on the ground, for this I found some corrugated cardboard, this was suitable as it is shock absorbent, which allowed for steadier footage.
After this I decided to strap the camera down on to the middle of the dolly, I did this by using masking tape for security.  I then placed the tripod on to the dolly, this made it easier for me to move the camera with Lilie's movements.

Poster Development

Tutorial for changing eye colour

Firstly I used the Macro setting on the camera and got an extreme close up shot of Lilie's eye.











I imported this image on to Photoshop and flipped the image to make the placement of the eye the opposite as it looked better for positioning on the poster.










I cropped the picture to only focus on the eye.









I copied this picture on to the correct size canvas (29cm x 21cm)

I used a Gaussian Blur to create a sharper focus on the main part of Lilie's eye.

In order to change the colour of the iris I used the Lasso Tool to select the area I wanted to change.









I then clicked on new adjustment layer- hue/saturation, this allowed me to colourize and change the colour of the iris.







I began to add the 'Oswald' text on to the main image, I changed the positioning of the text until it accentuated the image by making it more dominant on the page, this continued until the final processes of the poster production.

I selected the image I took in the corridor during Scene 1 to use as a reflection in Lilie's eye. 











I selected the central, important part in the picture, using a circular selection tool.  I then selected the inverse in order to keep the selected part and delete the areas around the picture.

I edited the opacity of the image to make it follow the conventions of my genre, this also allowed me to create synergy and a house style throughout my three media products.

I imported this image to my main poster image. After this I was able to see the positive effect of the overlaying images.  I made any corrections to the shape and opacity of the corridor image and finally place the text in the correct places.
