Taking Photo's for the Poster - Demelza

I originally took around 40 images, but I have narrowed it down to 5 that I liked the most.

This was the first arrangement that we decided to have our actors stand. Simular to other posters such as St. Trinians, it makes it easy to distinguish all characters as well as clearly represent the main. I wanted a room that had white walls to allow easier editing in Photoshop. However the rooms available was quite small so full body shots was impossible.

The aim of these photographs was to have 'The Geeks' pull extremely cheesy grins that contrast with Sams straight face. (With except of the first image which is a test.) I had two studio lights face the actors to make sure they were lit up enough so colours could be edited nicely.

In terms of the costume the actors wore jumpers/cardigans/blazers and with Georgia and Fran hats and glasses. Sam although relatively smart, wears a dress with long blonde hair. Creating a juxtaposition from 'The Geeks'.

The second arrangement shows them in rank also, with Sam at the front, slightly parted from the other actresses in the first photo. Her height is also an advantage to separating herself from the others. I also prefer the lighting on these photos, it's softer and doesn't blind the viewer with their smiles.
