We drove to Saskia's house in Camberwell where Thea and George were, as they had come back from Uni in Sussex for Saskia's birthday and so that we could photograph them for our poster and magazine.
The weather was the opposite of what we wanted - rain and grey skies. This was inconvenient because we were intending to take photographs of Thea and George outside lying on the grass in Saskia's garden. Luckily, Willa had a patch of fake grass in her garden so we used this and ended up taking the photographs of them lying on the grass inside instead of outside, later we will manipulate this using Adobe Photoshop by editing the lighting and balance of the photo. If the grass does not look real enough in the photo when we put it on our poster, we will cut out Thea and George using the magnetic lasso tool in Photoshop, and paste them onto a background of a photograph of real grass.
We needed to do some filming because we had some parts of our trailer was missing and did not fit the voiceover script. We started by filming them on fake grass inside, because the weather was awful and the lighting outside was too grey. We then filmed the part where Grace is holding Isaac's head in frustration. We had to make sure their mouths fit the voice overs we had previously recorded so it looked like it was them speaking.
After taking photos of them lying on the ground in Saskia's living room, we took ones of them closer up, with Thea looking frustrated with George, to convey the feeling that the relationship was going downhill which we may want for our poster or magazine.
We used a range of styles, on Willa's camera we had the ability to add filters to the photos as we were taking them, and tried some in black and white and some in colour.
These are some samples of the photographs we took yesterday. The colour has worked better than black and white as a big image, so we will most likely use the coloured photographs for our poster which will contain a large image, and the black and white ones for our magazine cover, which will use lots of smaller images. We can of course edit the coloured photos to be black and white if we need to.
