Last week I was not able to progress very far with my product until Wednesday as this was the day of my Photoshoot. I completed my Photoshoot after college and overall it ran very smoothy. I had chosen models who were in my media class and we shared the 1 hour slot between 2 of us so that I knew I could rely on my models. The only issue I had was that I was meant to be using a black eye mask borrowed from one of my models. However, she texted me in the morning to tell me she didnt have it with her. She gave me enough time to go and buy a replcement and I had already organised all my other props that I needed and had them all ready to use. My models worked very well for me apart from in one of my shots which involved them looking angry at eachother but instead they couldnt take it seriously. I overcame this by taking a large number of shots to ensure I had a few I could select from to make sure my final shot looked effective.
In my photoshoot I took around 80 shots. I thought it was important to take a large amount as it would meant that if I wasnt happy with a lot of them I would still have a good amount which looked how I wanted them to. For example, for the first shot on my DPS I have decided to use an image which wasnt posed and I took while the models were not looking at the camera. I have chosen this shot as it looks natural and more like 2 best friends having fun together rather than posing for a camera.
By the end of the week I was almost finished editing my images ready to put into my DPS and onto my front cover. By the end of this week I aim to have finished or be close to finishing my front cover. Yesterday I measured the size of Cosmopolitan magazine and inputted my front cover image, began to work on a colour scheme and inputted some cell lines which I am likely to change.
When editing my front cover I used the healing brush tool as you were able to see some of the chair my model was sat on. In my finished image you are not able to see this at all. I also used auto-tone in a lot of my images as my models skin looked very orange against the white background. Then it was just a case of adjusting the brightness and contrast levels until I was happy with the finished result.
