Images for Magazine front cover

I was in charge of taking the photos and part of the editing process so that they could be placed straight onto the poster that is being done by ella and the magazine done by Charlotte. I had to replicate the images that we had drawn on the magazine front cover and film poster drafts.
This was the Magazine front cover that we designed, these are the images that I took.
I organised to meet up with ellie (Our main character) to take some photos. It was actually really difficult to re-inact the look we wanted as the way her hair is in the film poster meant it had to be held up to have that effect. After a few shots we managed to have a few potential pictures.












These are a few of the shots:
I ended up having to take this image with Ellie lying on the floor, it is the only was I could successfully get her hair to fan out around her. When doing this I had to ensure I was at the right camera angle so that it didn't look like I was looking down on her. I asked Ellie to look scared and clasp her face and then took as many images as I could.
After taking this image and showing the girls, we realised that it wasn't going to work on our front cover. One reason it wouldn't work is because it is a landscape photo meaning that it would have to be stretched to fit the the poster how we would like it.
I will reschedule with ellie to re-take this image.

I arranged to see Ellie to take the image for the magazine front cover again.
This time I did it with dramatic lighting to give it a spooky effect.I think these worked well, It was hard to be able to organise the image as I was trying to put the light in a dramatic way and take the image at the same time.
