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.
