We discussed taking new shots using the Mac screen for lighting and a closer shot distance in a previous post. Here we are trying to find a clour scheme for the magazine cover which reflects the poster colour palette, where blue is the key colour with red as shocking accent.
We created this blue-ish background on Photoshop as it has both a slightly watery and a dream feel about it but it may well be too dark.
We are choosing between these shots. Again, we are looking for a dream-like feel and we think the contrast between the shadowed face and the lighter side works well. Gabi's left eye is really emphasised here and she looks startled. When an extreme close up is used, we have seen that teh masthead goes in front of the image rather than the more usual behind. However, the overall look is too dark. We are avoiding red, the conventional colour of film magazine mastheads, as we need to use this for our title. We will have to think again about the colour choice here.
We are also not entirely sure this is the right shot to choose. We liked the idea of the shadows to add an eerie feel, but maybe it is too much.
