Ancillary Photos

Following on with my ideas of light trails I decided to in cooperate this with my album cover and magazine image. The contrast of light and dark creates effective shadows therefore I believed that putting my character in the image connotes her in a dark time.

Here are all the photos I took using a Canon 60D 17-18mm lens with a 30 second shutter speed and running round her with torches to create the light trails

This is the tester shot to make sure there was no light pollution at our location that may effect the brightness of the trails.

I then practiced seeing how far I wanted my trail to start from and whether the shadow of the tree was effective

I then asked my actor to wave her arms around to give her the sense of wings, reflecting her death within the music video

I also tested her jumping and reaching out to see if this was effective. I was not keen on this as it made it hard to get her whole body in the shock.

This was my favorite image as shes very shadowed however, her sillouote is prominent. We have also used the 'wings' feature  however more subtly here so it doesn't give much away.





I also wanted the font on my poster and DVD case to be in light trails however, after writing 'let you go it ' it seemed more effective to do each letter seperately and add it using photoshop

Magazine Advert example -Muse

DVD cover example- Iron Man

Chase and Status CD cases

Chase and Status have a running theme of Black and white images together with yellow font. This effective as it stands out against the picture. Within my ancillary texts I will use a similar theme to show the relation to their other tracks keeping with their original themes.
