This was my target...
- My target will be to learn how to adjust the focus on the SLR cameras to good effect
This was how I was going to achieve it...
The way in which I will be able to achieve this is by experiencing how the cameras can be used first hand. I will attempt adjusting the focus with several objects. Also asking friends who do photography will help me to get the best results that I can. When taking photos for a horror poster there are certain conventions that need to be met. Dark lighting for example is one of them, and possibly to include props such as blood and weapons to make it scary.
How I achieved it and proof...
As i said in the above paragraph I was planning to take several shots adjusting the focus myself. I did do this when in the photography studio taking the photos for our DVD cover of our actors. Here are some of the photos taken:
Taking this photo I felt that I had managed to adjust the focus well, however the other conventions were not suitable for a horror DVD cover as the photo seemed to be filled with light.
The expressions on their faces seemed to ruin this photo for me, along with the incorrect lighting. After taking two photos with a good focus yet terrible lighting I felt that I needed to turn a few of the lights off in the studio, bt keep the same focus I was using.
This was the final photo that was taken that day, and I believe it to be the best. There is a good amount of depth of field as the background character is only slightly focussed adding the desired mysterious effect. The main character in the front is looking unaware of the background character which we wanted and the lighting on his face seems perfect. This was to be one of the photos used on our DVD cover.
