Evaluation Question 4 - Photoshop

Photoshop was also used to edit my ancillary images. As they were from a green screen, my background colour needed to be changed. I began by using the background eraser to go around and erase the green and zooming right in to make sure the characters didn't have a green glow.

After it has all be erased, I can then go about changing the background colour. But first, I zoomed right in to the characters hair, especially on the girls and used the smudge tool to smooth out their hair as originally it was obvious that this image has been edited; this made the characters look a lot more natural. I chose a background image that would link to how I want the billboard poster to come across. I chose a murky grey as this would reflect the 'dark' I was going for, but this background colour would be changed at a later date as the characters just blended into the background.

I then went to edit, fill to confirm my chosen background colour.

I then changed the fill option to background colour and pressed ok.

 

 

 

Now I have an edited image with the background colour I wanted.

 

 

 

 

As my billboard poster has developed this has now been changed to a brick wall covered in graffiti background, this has been done to connote the typical working class stereotype in the main storyline of the trailer.

My characters have also been switched around to keep with the theme of my other ancillary (front cover) and the trailer. As both of my main characters are the main star image (Harriet and Abby), it would best fit that they are also in the limelight on the billboard poster.
