I have now edited the image in photoshop by changing the image to black and white, and then altering the threshold so the picture is a lot more bold and striking. I really liked this effect and so I decided to print it off, and then draw the image myself using a fine liner pen. This is the drawing that I made from the image, which I will then scan back into photoshop so I can add text and change the contrast of the image.

Print work: Front cover

I have decided that I am going to use this image for my front cover as I think this has a good concept as the video is about a girl travelling through different places who eventually finds her 'home' which will be a boy. I thought the idea of a path suits this perfectly as this shows her journey to find him.

However i am not planning on leaving it like this, and so I am going to open it back up in photoshop and then edit it and maybe put it in black and white as this suits the indie folk genre. I will also need to figure out how I am going to work on top the image with either pen or biro for the authentic effect.

Print work: Extension

I have been given an extension for my advert and digipak which allows me to work on it for another week. I decided I needed one as I took a lot of photos and was struggling to come up with an idea. I was also ill for a couple of days and so I fell behind in my work. However now I have till the 7th of December to finish my digipak and advert which I feel should be enough time to get it all finished.

Time Management

Take Images at night time for digipak/magazine advert by 27/11/12 Deadline: Met

Print work: Images

When taking the photos, I found that it was extremely hard to get a clear picture as the shutter was very slow as it was dark, meaning I could not hold the camera still enough in that period of time. Here are some of the photos I took like this.

However I decided to look up on the internet how to get the camera to take a clear image, which resulted in me changing the iso sensitity and slowing the shutter right down. It also advised that I use a tripod, and I was able to borrow my brothers, which enabled me to take some clear photos of the city from around my area.

 I was able to take these photos as the shutter was set for round about 15 seconds, which meant whenever a car drove past their lights would create this effect which I really like.

Print work: Organisation

I have decided that I am going to take some more photos of scenery but this time at night. In order to do this I will have to borrow the camera out again, and then I will organise for a friend to drive to to different areas to take the photos. When taking my photos in the day time, I noticed a path at the top of my road which overlooks the city. I think at night time this will look really interesting so I am going to go there. This will happen on the 27/11/12.

Print work: Front cover

I'm thinking of using this image for the front cover of my digipack. I quite like the way the Branch is in focus as this enables me to edit the background and put writing over the top. I have already edited this image in photoshop by cropping out the tree branch, and then lightening the background. To give my digipak the authentic effect, I have put the tree branch back onto the lighter image and then I have worked ontop of it using a biro pen. However I have decided that I don't want to use this image for my front cover as the concept isn't very strong and it doesn't contain enough detail.
