Midpoint Evaluation

After starting a bit a research I have started to put some of my images together which will help me create my fairy tale book cover. A few changes have been made but everything seems to be going well at the moment.

As I am shooting my foreground and background separately I had to make sure I found the perfect locations for both. While shooting the background which is going to be the forest in the cover I found quite difficult to find the right location. Also in my statement of intent I said I was going to shoot the forest at night time to give it a spooky, gloomy effect, but it turned out it was easier to shoot during the day so that no detail in the image would be lost. In the image I have decided to use I really like the light shining through the trees.
I haven’t yet started my shoot of the model because I am not sure who I am going to choose to do the job. Also I need to purchase a little red riding hood cape for my models costume. I want my model to have long black hair coming out of the cape to show her feminine side.
I have decided not to use any props as this will make it too complicated and only have limited time to finish it. It would have been difficult to put the props onto the forest background as I would have to use the refine tool on Photoshop which could start to make it look fake as I already have the model with this technique.
I have also started to research into zoetrope’s and now have an understanding to how they work and what they are used for. I find them very interesting and think they are an amazing idea. I don’t think this will be an easy task for me to make but I am looking forward to the challenge. My idea so far is to have someone skipping with a skipping rope on a white background.
