The picture above was taken at the same time I shot the shots for my trailer.I knew that I wanted there to be hint and little give aways that there will be a supernatural element.Therefore I had the idea to turn the water red to symbolise blood therefore to do this I took the original image which you see in the bottom right hand corner and used a tool called instant alpha and removed the water and the sky.This the enabled me to put the original images on the page,then a layer of red.I did this by creating a regular shape and then changed the opacity from 100% to 34%.I then layered the images with the cut out part over the red.I have done it this way so I still get the sort of water texture to try and keep the image as authentic as I can even thou there are supernatural features within the poster.The image underneath is a more cleaned up and more neatly cropped.












The pictures above were of me experimenting with potential magazine images.I knew that I wanted red to be quite a predominant colour throughout the promotional package.To create the images above I have changed the hue& saturation in order to make the image black and white and I have also changed the temperature and exposure slightly to bring out the eyes more.Going back to the theme of red I decided to duplicate the pictures and then crop the tears out so I could then layer then over the black and white image.The results as you can see in the picture furthest to the right is a mono picture with a hint of eye escaping the eyes.This could suggest demons or the supernatural like I want to achieve in my promotional package.However going back I don't think i'm going to use this image on my front cover because I feel that there is to much going on in the picture which makes the front cover look crowded which is not the look I was going from.I want the same sort of idea however I feel just the face may be more effective for my magazine front cover.

Therefore I have picked a photo from the same shot as the previous picture however cropped it slightly so there are no hands or arms in the picture.I have then changed the exposure to then darken the face and I have also changed the contrast so that the hair will face into a black background which is what I wanted as it will then make the reader focus more on the face.This is the picture I will use on my final magazine.
