Poster Advert proposal

Proposal

The Props

My Idea is to create an advertisement poster for a creepy Face painting company. The props I am going to need are a Mannequin head, face paint, and wax to mould and make bits stand out from the face. In the end it would look like a creepy monster face that would look really cool and freaky.

The equipment

·         We will need a red head light and its light stand so we can light the items up so they won’t have as much of a shadow in the way of the item.

·         A camera to take the pictures with.

·         A tripod to support the camera so it won’t blur from our hands shaking.

·         A3 paper so we could use it to have even light layout because it reduces shadows along with the red head light.

·         Art work screens so we could pin the paper to the board and have it propped up.

·         A table so we could stand the objects on.

Location

The location will be the classroom because I only need to take pictures of stationary objects and then cut around them and adjust them to suit what I would like the final project to look like. I will use the art display board and paper as the backdrop for the items.

Photographic Considerations

There aren’t many that I have to consider like the Weather, traffic or model availability, because I am using stationary objects and will be indoors, all I will need to worry about is the lighting which can be sorted by using the red head lamps, and If people want to get past me to the get through the room.

Editing techniques

The editing techniques I will use are the free form pen so I can cut around the objects and get rid of any unnecessary things that could be in the way. I could also use the desaturate tool to make it black and white adding to the creepiness as well as the opacity tool to make the image look more ghostly.

Obstacles I might face.

I’m quite new to Photoshop so I don’t know how to use all the tools and settings so I will need to play about with it for a bit so I can figure out what tools to use. I also will struggle using the free form pen because you need to be precise so you can get the best look out of the image that will be cut out to be used for the advert.

Time frame

This project should take three days. On the first day I will be using the time to take pictures of the objects that I will bring in. On the second day I will be planning what I will do on Photoshop and how the images will be set out and start on the Photoshop for the project, and on the third day I will finish the Photoshop and do the Evaluation of the image.
