Photoshoot

To take the photos for our film poster Mia and I set up the photoshoot in the technnology block using the photography equipment such as the white backdrop, meaning we could easily edit the background of the photo if needed in photoshop afterwards. We borrowed the same ballet costume that we used in our trailer for Mia to wear, as Lauren was very busy and we needed the photos quite quickly, meaning Mia played Lauren's character in the photos. I used a pair of men's tracksuit bottoms and wore trainers and posed on one leg that was the opposite to Mia's, meaning there was an almost mirror image down the contre. We had decided on this composition of our poster as we wanted to show both sides of Savannah from the film: her trouble-making ways using the pose on the left, moving to her ballet lifestyle using the pose on the right of the image.

At time it was very hard to balance, so our friend Maisi had to take the photos very quickly once we had got into position as it was hard to keep for a long period of time. This meant we had to take a lot of photos quickly rather than a small amount of photos within a long period of time, meaning some of the photos were a lot better than others, of which we simply deleted once we had uploaded them to the Mac.

We decided to use the photo in the top right of this selection of images, as although it was dark, there was the best symmetry from our poses and it could be easily lightened in photoshop.
