Production


The Production Process:

In order to be able to work with the images I took, I had to make sure my models signed a model release form. Both my models willingly signed the forms and gave me the permission to use their photos in my triptych and video. Below is a copy of the model release form that I used:

Triptych Photo shoot:

We booked out the studio for two hours alongside a camera and a tripod. Five of us booked out the studio together so the two hour slot gave us all enough time to take several photos to allow us to choose the best three when editing. I chose a male and female model that I felt best match the description I was looking for. I needed a masculine and well structured male and a petite female. I personally feel that some of my images came out better than others. This was down to the models losing concentration but mainly also down to the lighting and the shadows created. At first I thought this may bring the quality of my photos down. However, I am going to work with it and incorporate it in to my work. Luckily, the shadows are mainly on my antagonists face so it could highlight that they always are shown in a bad light. I will follow something along those lines to make my triptych still look professional. 

The Selection Process:


This is a contact sheet of all the images I took in my photo shoot. The ones outlined in red are the ones I selected to use in my triptych. The reason I chose the images I did was because they were the clearest and help portray the message the best. Like I previously mentioned, I am not very happy with how the couple photos came out but I am going to work with them and try to produce a triptych to the best of my ability. I am also not happy with the fact that my female model's still wearing her college lanyard. As I have not got enough time to retake my pictures, I decided to use the clone stamp tool and the pen tool in photo shop to black out the lanyard and blend it in with her jumper as if it were the strings on her hoodie. I also decided to come from the angle of abuse in teenage relationships. I have had to adapt my triptych to suit the needs of the photos taken but I think the end result will still be as effective. It looks OK but I personally would have preferred to retake the photos for a more professional outcome.

The Editing Process:


I think this was probably my favourite part of the whole process. I used Adobe Photo Shop CC 2018. In conclusion, I think the photo shop practice was extremely useful. I put all the skills I learnt into practice to produce a professional looking triptych. The skills that I found the most useful were the clone stamp tool, the spot healing tool brush, the crop tool, the dodge tool and the blur tool. I mentioned about the process and how I wasn’t massively happy with how some of my pictures came out due to the lighting and the models losing concentration. However, I am glad I made these mistakes now so next time I can produce something more professional looking and avoid any obvious mistakes. I mentioned about the process and how I wasn’t massively happy with how some of my pictures came out due to the lighting and the models losing concentration.
