Image 4 mark epton

My image 4 will be a men having a smoke pen in his hand and smoking it, Replicating will be easy because there is no filter or other editing, the only prop I need are a model, camera and a pen. I will not face any problems while replicating the image. I will take some test shots and will decide my original shot. I don't really need a tripod because the image is a close up. The model has to hold a pen and pretend to smoke. The reason why I am not using a real smoking pen because it is illegal to smoke in college and can be dangerous for the model if he's not experienced in smoking.

Camera setup: the camera will be set to normal and will not have any filters because I will edit it later and the shutter speed will set to medium.

Editing: I will use Adobe Photoshop CS6 to edit the picture, the only thing I need to edit is the filter colour to black and white to match the image from film noir classics.

Adams courtyard picture replicate mark epton

that is the original picture that I replicated, its film noir style, I made the picture similar but located in my college. 

This picture is replicated from a film noir picture, I am happy with this picture because this one looked more accurate. I managed to take this picture without and tripod. The camera was called pentax, I took a regular image format, later I edit it using Photoshop, the tools I used level colour filter and gradient adjustments tool to change the filter and the image darker.

image 3 mark epton

This image will be taken in town but I have to search the location but I have one in mind which is market square where on side is a alley way or maybe somewhere else.
There is three models but I will use two models because I don't need to make it exactly the same. The problem I am facing is on the same day everyone will take pictures so which means I can only find two models.
It is all about timing because even the place is a public city hall but our course does not allow us to film other people except the people who are in it.
The picture will be wide shot taken from inside. The models will pretend to walk, I have to take the picture in good timing. props- camera and tripod

shutter speed fast,s,over 1000

film noir in class image 2

My image 2 is going to be taken in rare entrance of NCN with a model accessing it and the light behind it i am going to replicate it to silhouette. To make the curtains I am going to use adobe Photoshop.
Camera settings. I will use a a wide shot and I will use a tripod. Problems I may encounter would be public accessing the rear entrance. To solve it I have to avoid going there around early morning and afternoon.
The image will taken normal and later it will be changed to film noir (black and white).
The model has to go through the rear entrance and I have to picture it on perfect timing.
Image 2 will be a picture of curtains and I have to use adobe Photoshop and make it look like a see through image. The tools I will use oppasity to make it look see through.
The back up plan I need will be a picture of a white background because if the weather changes then it will be hard to take the picture.

my final film noir photo mark epton

my final idea is the picture with a hand



I am going to use a torch and a model to help me in my final outcome. I need to choose a good dark location because the image is black and white so I decided to choose the ground floor where nobody goes.
I can do this in mid day because the picture has no colour. If you look closely in the image you can see there is a creepy message because the hand is doing a creepy sign. You can not tell what gender is the model because you only see his/her hand and shadow.
In my image I will get a model for the hand and I will use a torch to get the background shadow. To get the black and white image I will take the picture normal then edit the filter colour to black and white, to do this I will use Photoshop. I will try to do something completely different so it looks more better than the previous image for example change hand to do a different sign, I can also play with the Photoshop software to blur the background or the hand to make it look like a ghost hands.

Camera setup. I will take a mid-shot (not too close or far away) because the image will look better. I will not tilt the camera, the orientation will be landscape, I will use a tripod to keep the camera stable because the shutter speed will be slow. I will use the camera on  program mode but I will turn the grid on.

film noir HOMEWORK

Today we were talking about film noir and we went through a PowerPoint  

A photographer’s job is to look around and see other object to interact with and look around for better places. Location, objects and we will see so many test shots from a photographer.

Deep depth of field

2 shots in college and 2 shots as a homework with our chosen location.

Replicate film noir or a video game cover.

Before taking a picture take a good look around

We had to look at a picture and guess what time it was taken and it was back in 1980’s

1.      

What time period do you think the photograph was taken? Give reasons for your answer.

It was taken around 1980’s because the picture shows people wearing the 80’s clothes.

2.What do you think was the genre/subject? The genre was summer events/holidays in Britain because all the pictures have sunshine

3.Are the elements in the shot balanced? Yes they are balanced because the background has a clear shot balanced but the rollercoaster is making it a wide shot.  The water has a clear shot balanced. The picture is squared by 4 by 5. The trains are crossing which made the picture interesting.

4.What message could the photograph be trying to convey? Having fun and promoting holidays.

5.Do you notice anything striking about the shot? The colours are vibrant, train

6.Do you think consent was needed from the subjects? No because back there it was different rules and it was on a public place so the picture is legally fine.

7.What is the viewpoint?  Eye level because the picture is straight.

8.If you were to produce this shot what would you do differently? I will take the picture with different angles and also do test shots.

The main props I need are torch,white background and a model so I can use his/her hands. The location would be a dark room. There is no editing to this picture except the black and white background which can be done by changing filters.

To recreate this image the props I would use are blinds and a model to acces the entrance gate. The location would be a entrance to the college. There would be no lighting just the entrance gate and a model coming from there. The editing I can use is blinds or I can use Photoshop and get a image of blinds and use it for layer 2.
