Photography Project 16/11/15- For possible CD cover/ Film Poster

Film Noir Photography Proposal.

Shoot 1)

My first shoot might be shot in a room (or studio) inside collage, for props I’d find a toy pistol, a hat (preferably as similar as I can get to the hat worn by the man in the picture), I’d make sure there is low light, I’d have to Photoshop the shadow of the bird/ crow onto the shoulder of the man, I could make something to only let light shine through so it only shone on the man’s face, the angle I’d shoot the actor at would be approximately 45^°,the light level here would be low, there won’t be a fill light because I need the shadows as part of my shoot

The writing would have to change to something different, like the title of the film/game, the year it was made, the producer’s name and any other names that appear at the bottom of posters or on video game covers.

Maybe the ISO would be around 200 (2 ⁄ 10ths) of a second.

Also if the actor is carrying a fake gun, there may have to be sines everywhere stating that there is a photo shoot in progress.

Seen as I am inside for this shot, I won’t have to worry about being disturbed by people.

The shot that I'll try and re-create is the one below.

Shoot 2)

For this shoot (the one below) I will use a room (or studio) in collage, this time I’d have a high light level because then you can see the man’s face rather than struggling, also this my prevent the possibility of blur, for props; all I need is the right clothes and a toy hand-gun (or pistol), also as before, maybe the ISO would be around 400 (4⁄10ths) of a second , as far as Photoshop is concerned, hopefully there won't be much I have to do, apart from rotate the picture of the man a little so that it's like the poster below, the writing would have to change to something different, like the title of the film/game, the year it was made, the producer’s name and any other names that appear at the bottom of posters or on video game covers, I would have to be facing the actor (directly in front of him/her) and would have to make sure that the actor was holding the same or at least nearly the same pose as the one in the poster below.

Shoot 3)

Here I could shoot this outside (possibly) in a light area, maybe foggy or cloudy (if I can), obviously I’d have to make sure that there aren’t any people around for the shot, I’d have to make sure that no one trips over the tri-pod, I’d have to make sure I had permission to take the shot where I would be taking the shot.

Maybe the ISO would be around 400 (4⁄10ths) of a second, I would need to make sure that the camera was in focus and that it wasn’t grainy or blurred, the writing would have to change to something different, like the title of the film/game, the year it was made, the producer’s name and any other names that appear at the bottom of posters or on video game covers, I would have to be facing the actor (directly behind him/her) and would have to make sure that the actor was holding the same or at least nearly the same pose as the one in the poster below.

Shoot 4)

Here I could take this picture outside with the actor standing or hiding behind a wall, I could colour the background back in Photoshop, and the props I would need to bring would be a toy gun and the clothes that he/she will be wearing, as it is outside I would need to take into consideration other people’s needs, for example making sure that I am not obstructing a path what people are walking down, make sure no one trips over the tri-pod, I’d have to make sure that I have permission to take pictures in the specific area that I am taking the picture in.

The ISO could be around 200 (2⁄10ths) of a second and also I would need to make sure that the camera was in focus and that it wasn’t grainy or blurred, although I could have the background a little blurred (it's only a possibility), the writing would have to change to something different, like the title of the film/game, the year it was made, the producer’s name and any other names that appear at the bottom of posters or on video game covers.
