Planning: Advertisement Initial Photos

Today I modelled for pictures which we could use for our advertisement. As it was windy out we wanted to experiment with my hair blowing in the wind, this meant placing it across my face and picking it up and letting it drift in the wind. We got some pictures which were then edited, and now displayed below;

We believe this image is decent, as I am looking directly into the camera, this makes it eye catching for the audience. However this cannot be seen as a good image for our advert, this is because the text being used will be over her face and therefore covering her eyes. Which we see and the strongest part of the image, so it is unlikely we will be using this.

This image stood out to us, and we liked the emotion on sarah's face, also the movement of her hair compared to the stillness of her face made the image stronger. The problems we have with this image however is the emotion on her face. We feel that the image will be on the digipak and will contrast other songs on the CD. Although it matches the song 'Corner' it may not match some of her happier songs. Also the same as the image above it will be hard to get the writing over the top of the image, as it will mean writing over her face.

Here is the image again except in black and white, we do not like this one as much as we would prefer it to be in colour.

This image is our favourite, as the girls face is not in the image the audience can read her expression however they want, this means if they are listening to one of the sad songs on the album then they may think the girl is upset in the photo, however if they are listening to one of the faster songs they may think that the girl is smiling and will interpret the image differently. Also there is a lot of movement in the image, which we was trying to achieve and the red of the hair is eye catching

We decided to add 'SAMPLE' to the images to see which ones would sit better with the picture, we decided we liked the third image better, this is because some of the image isn't really lost when the text is added. This is why we are going to use the third image
